You might be more specific on your request Tyler. Are we talking do we like YOUR bike? Or do we think that you should BUY this bike? Or do we think that it's the ugliest bike that we've seen in the last twenty four hours. (For me yes. I'm sorry if that's the wrong answer to the wrong question.)

That really depends on the year, condition and price.

Both the Trance Advanced 1 and Trek Remedy 7 are pretty capable bikes. That said, the Remedy has more travel and relaxed geometry compared to the Trance, so if you're looking for a bike that descends a bit better the geo of the Remedy will likely suit you more.

I'd personally go with the Giant Trance, any model really BUT with the addition of a Pike on the front (or speak to the shop about the possibility of lengthening the Fox 34's on the advanced to 150 or 160mm). I prefer the Remedy as a bike as its stiffer and smoother on the rear, but a Trance with SX style kit on it is amazing bang for buck and a hell of a good time - carbon wheels on the Adv 1 too! Just check my Bike Checks and you'll see my opinion is pretty valid..
