Hi I would like some advice on this 2 models they seem to be good spec main difference being the frame design.
On the motobecane it seem they skip on the crank and Brakes, I will upgrade those to shimano XT
crank shimano XT $296
Brakes XT $260 with ice tech rotors

the airborne only seem to need better brakes, since I read so many bad stories about exilir, swap them for shimanos XT
Brakes XT $260 ice tech rotors

arguable
the airborne have better rims and tires
shimano hollowtech crank is smoother
and maybe the trek rumblefish elite but this one is not full shimano XT

any clear reason why to go with one over the other.
PS: I was also looking at the trek superfly 100 AL Pro but it seem that local bike shops wont go bellow $3,600 that right there is a deal breaker.
im not interested in any other bike since they are overpriced and dont come with good group spec.
