I dont know that either have a lockout suspension or if either owner knows.. so it boils down to $130 for the GT $150 for the Giant.. The giant forces you into that c clamp for the bike rack.. not a huge deal breaker but kinda a bummer.. she still leaning on the GT at least worst case for my 15 year old..
On the stems on each, are they both replaceable do you think.. i think the giant looks more "vertical" which is a bonus.. yeah ill have her/my son take a lap to be sure.
The seller of the Giant may be negotiable.
Both stems are replaceable. The GT probably uses a 1 1/8" quill stem with a 25.4 clamp, but be sure to check before buying a new stem. Most of the time the size is engraved on the bottom of the quill.
