Both would be fitted with dropdown bars, but i am on a low budget, so other than that i am not upgrading anything unless it is an absolute necessity.
Both are steel frames. The black one (produced by fahrradmanufaktor) is 150€ and the blue one 100€
I plan to go bike touring through Norway this summer, with outdoor camping, so on paved roads in hilly terrain, with a full pack. But I also would like to go touring otherwhere in the future without buying a new bike, so it should be semi-all-purpose.

Number 1. Steel baby!
The black ‘fahrradmanufaktor’ one, as it has a triple chainring. If you’re touring fully-loaded, it’s all but essential. You’ll need them extra gears for the hilly-terrain you mention.
I think the black one is the saver option…… but the blue one is so pretty😇
hmm, both have aspects i like and dislike about them. with the first i like the steel pedals and the crankset pants guard. but i dont really like the saddle or how far back the handlebars swoop back, seems like it’d kind of an awkward riding position. with the second its already got nice tires, cant tell how worn down they are tho. the cassete looks brand new so thats nice. i like the saddle and handlebars more too. the only things i dont like about the second is the pedals and the lack of pants guard over the crankset, but those are easy enough changes, so overall i say go with the second
