Default Best choice for a new XC with US$1.500

I`m a brazilian adventure racer going to Miami.
I wish to get a new bike there and have only 1.500 to spend.
There`s so many options, but I like very much Trek bikes.
Is Trek 8000 the best choice or I need to change brand or model?


Another question - anybody knows 8000 weight?

I have a Gary Fisher Big Sur and love it. They list right around $1500. Take a test ride.

Great Fury4,

I`ll try Gary Fisher. I`ve been watching the specs and they are close of Trek, but with some diferent comps, like Hayes brakes, much better than Shimano.

many tks.
