black market, hands down in my opinion, but all in all its your choice your riding it, id see if you could arange to maybe ride one of each first or talk to some one that has had one, i personally have rode neither but from what i know id pick teh black market
ya realy not even comparible black market mush beter built and im pretty sure there made in the states not like taiwan or sumthin
that's not even a valid point anymore. they're made by s& m bikes, btw.
they're exactly comparable, difference is that blk mrkt does nothing but make steel street/dj hardtails, whereas specialized makes everything from the sx to the carbon epic s-works to the p2 cromo
