Hi all, i'm new here, want to start doing some more serious biking and I've come upon two beginner bikes which are about the same price at my LBS (650-700, CDN$). They are the Gary Fischer Wahoo Disc and the Giant Yukon. I was looking at the Kona Blast too but the concensus was that it was pretty heavy, I want a lightweight bike. The GT Avalanche was also a consideration but it's hard to find in my city.

Anywho, which of these two would you pick?

My LBS guy said that the Wahoo had a lighter frame and a better fork but the Yukon had better drivetrain but not as good a fork...

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
