Either are pretty good, but you have to get a Motobecane from a shop that has the bike listed close to the actual retail price, or if it isn't, it's probably on sale. I was going to buy a Motobecane from an eBay seller, but they were selling 08's (that weren't even out yet) for like $400 under the MSRP, so I stayed away from them. But If I really had to say so, I'd get the trek. I've never had any bad experiences with trek.

the components are usually too good to be true for the prices. my friend had a fantom comp and busted the frame in a week.
