I dunno...
There really is no real comparison between a Trek 7.4FX, a Sirrus Elite, and an Escape 1.
Once you've selected your $700 budget, the only choice that makes any sense is the Escape 1. That's only because both the Trek and the Sirrus are overpriced.
In fact, financially speaking, Giant is always gonna be the better deal, between Trek and Specialized, no matter what bike we're talking about!
