My brother-in-law wants a new bike and after going through the brochures he's narrowed it down to FS
hybrids from Giant, Trek and Scott so I thought I'd ask here for views. It's for cycling with his
teenage boys on road, trail and forest paths (i.e.. light off road).

Trek are fairly well known so I assume they're OK but what about Giant and Scott? Looking at the
websites the components are pretty much the same only the Giant RP stands out at having Deore rear
mech (can't remember the lineage is it ascending: Acera - Alivio - Deore?) and it's cheaper than the
7200. The Giant HP looks good to me at £60 less again. ;-)
