Kona Dawg, or Trek Liquid?
I am in the market for a new mountain bike. I have narrowed down my choices
to either the Kona Dawg deelux, or the Trek Fluid 25. http://www.konaworld.com/2k4bikes/2k4_dawg_dlx.cfm http://www.trekbikes.com/bikes/2004/...n/liquid25.jsp I am 6'2 and weight 200lbs, so I want an all mountian frame rather than a lighterweight XC. I will not be racing. I will not be taking the bike of huge drops. I will be riding corss country trails as well as pavement. On the sirface these bikes appear similar, similar suspension systems, travel and so on, however I am wondering what set the two apart. Appearances can be deceiving. Any advice appretiated, though I would prefer if personal feelings could be kept to a minimum and the focus be on actual techincal differecnes, and why those techincal differences should or should not make a difference to me. I would also be extremely happy if no one tells me to forget both of these bikes and get a hardtail.... Second question, if this info from Specialized valid, or is it marketing BS? http://www.specialized.com/sbc4BarLi...e=otherlinkage -- rec.bicycles.off-road is moderated by volunteers.
