    Why these 2 ?
    What do you want the bike for ?
    Whats your budget
    Unless I am missing something nether of those bikes seem great to me.
    If money is tight I would start of looking at the range of bikes by Decathlon - or check the classifieds and buy something used..

    They are both terrible. Dont buy them. Consider saving more money or buy a used bike if your budget is low.

    Neither, they are what are classed as BSOs (bike shaped objects). As Kingrollo says, look at Decathlon or buy used. However if you are in the market for an anchor for your boat, either will do.
    Rose Xeon CDX 3100, Ultegra Di2 disc (nice weather)
    Ribble Gran Fondo, Campagnolo Centaur (winter bike)
    Van Raam 'O' Pair
    Land Rover (really nasty weather :lol: )
