Which bike is better?

I think these bicycles are hybrids. Which one is better and how much would you pay for each?

There's not a lot you can tell from the pics. Better pics would help. How much is the seller asking for each of these?

thanks for your response,

the trek bike is $100
the giant is $75

i dont have any other pics

but the trek is a 7000 series and the other bike is a giant cypress

Humm, very cheap prices, either are a decent entry level hybrid. $25 is trival, cost wise, I'd RIDE both and see how they FIT you. Shift the gears, look for RUST, Filth, etc. and decide by which one FEELS better, I do like the adj. stem and the platform pedals on the Trek better, jmho, ymmv.

how tall are you?

legennd 07-08-12 08:59 AM

a little over 5'8

That trek looks small; if you can straddle the giant with some clearance, it is probably a better size and a better buy.

legennd 07-08-12 09:29 AM

yeah it did feel a little tight

maybe 15" frame

bikemig 07-08-12 09:35 AM

If you mean too tight because your crotch touched the top tube, then get the Trek. The key is being able to stand flat footed over the frame with some clearance. These are hybrids and they're upright so a little xtra clearance is fine.

Hard to tell from the pics, but that Giant looks kinda old...

Description of components, gearing, etc.--something about the actual bikes themselves--would let people here give you better advice than just going from two general photos.
