I am thinking of getting one of these instead of the Trek 6000,
whats it like ? and why did you settle on that particular model?

Hi loving it , always amazed at what you get for the money these days. Brakes are really sharp, however used to v-brakes so first time with discs, performance in bad weather is great and I actually stop now. The guy in shop warned me it takes a few weeks to bed however damn near shot over handlebars on first fast stop :-) Suspension is really good and first time with lockout on forks which makes a real difference. Found it very comfortable and performs well on commute or on trail runs. My other ride is Spez Allez sport and I have upgraded over the past year and wanted something different spent the winter on my old mountain bike and had a real blast so swapped my Trek 7.5 as it seemed surplus and the Marin was in need of a major overhaul (Brakes, Forks, Wheels, and chainset)
I thought about the 6000 and was ready to place my order however after checking prices and comparing parts , decided on the 6300. In my case was about £90 so for the extra money felt it was worth the upgraded brakes and forks.

I think your right, the extra cash for the 6300 is well worth it, thanks for writing up your thoughts. I am after a Trek MTB for the winter
