I've searched the forums and there are a few threads sort of like this, but I figured I might ask the question anyway.
I am currently riding a 2010 Santa Cruz Bullit, but I find that it is a bit cramped for my liking (I'm 6' and it's a med).
I have found a couple bikes for sale, a 2010 Giant Glory size Large that seems to be in good shape and it has an angle set that gets the HA to about 64*. Everything else is stock. It's around $2K. I then also found a 2011 Trek Session 8 size Large that is completely stock and has barely been riden. It has a flat spot on the rear rim. It's in the upper $2K range, but hopefully I can talk it down to around mid 2K.
I will be riding mostly bike parks (Angel Fire). What bike would be best? I want something that will last for at least a couple seasons. Which bike would you guys recommend? Are there any major quirks with either bike that I should know about? I have heard that the session has some thin walls on the frame, is that something I should be worried about (I'm not the greatest rider but I'm also not too harsh).
Thanks
