Would really appreciate some help on deciding between these two bikes. Am 5' 1" and very slight, so need women specific geommetry ideally. These are both within my budget. I have looked at the specs but am not sufficiently knowledgable to make an informed decision as to whether one is better than the other. This is a big outlay for me, but wanted to buy something decent. I am waiting for the bikes to be delivered to the store so that I can try them out, but would be incredibly grateful for any opinions/ advice. Will be using for commuting and cycling in my free time so wanted something fairly versatile. many thanks!
