Should I buy a Trek Navigator 3.0 or a Specialized Expedition Elite?

Question

I am torn between the two bikes. I am a big guy standing at 6 feet tall and weigh around 260 lbs. I want to take leisurely rides and I've ridden both at the store. I think the Trek sits a little further back toward the back tire, which fits my frame and body better, but I don't find the Specialized uncomfortable. I just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions as to whether one is that drastically better in quality than the other.

Answer 1

I'm in the same boat and feel your pain. I am in between a Specialized expedition Sport and an Electra Townie, but leanin toward the Specialized. BUT if you had a choice between Trek and Specialized - Id go with Trek all the way! Treks dont fit me in womens, so thats the only reason I dont go with them. Oh and I like the shifters on the Specialized better than the Navigator, which I had tested too.
