Trek 6500 Disc or GT Avalanche Expert?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

G'day all,

Am in the UK and have the opportunity to purchase either of the above at 60% their retail value - but got the opportunity to get either a Trek 6500 Disc or GT Avalanche Expert at 60% their retail price! Both seem ideally suited to what I want - have a very similar spec and the price difference is negligible.

So - without me going into great detail about what I'd use them for - would you please let me know what you think - and tell me any pros and cons of either bike (or brand)?

Thanks
Martin
