Welcome.

I agree with jdon, the Specialized Crosstail comes in lots of different configurations. Knowing which one makes a comparison easier. But let’s assume you’re looking at the one that lists at about the same price as the Trek. The Specialized comes with braze-ons for racks and fenders; the Trek as far as I can tell does not. For an around town bike, racks and fenders would be a must for me, and the braze-ons make that much easier to accomplish.
