'07 Fisher Wahoo Disc or 07' Specialized Sport Disc?
what do you think? I want to purchase within the next week so i can ride during my spring break. Found the sport disc for 450$ and the wahoo disc for 500$, have not been able to test ride either because of the mucky, rainy weather!!! any input from owners or anyone with knowledge of the two?

Ride both brands, see which you like best. The "Fisher Geometry" doesn't work for everyone. Some like it and some don't. I thought Trek owned Fisher, but doesn't matter. Fisher has a longer top tube, shorter stem than many bikes. Get the one that you feel most comfortable with. Components can always be updated as they wear out, start with a good frame, that fits, and go from there. Don't buy either until you ride them. I started out on shorter top tube bikes, and Fisher just never felt "right" to me. But I have several friends who love theirs, to each his own.
