With my continuing research to find a new bike, I have also come across the Specialized Crosstrail line of bikes http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...name=Multi+Use . I have noticed that this bike has different components then the Trek and the Giant models. Mainly the fork and crankset are the biggest differences that I have found. The Trek and Giant use the Shimano crankset while the Specialized uses the Suntour. As for the differences in the fork, the Trek and Giant use the same (SR Suntour NEX 4610 w/lockout), while the Specialized uses the SR Suntour SF11-NVX-DS. How great are these differences? Is one more durable then the other (better quality)?

Thank you,

Tom
