I find it really difficult to understand how the different geometry of bikes effect… well everything.
I'm looking for a sturdy frame, upright riding position and tyres that can handle road and sandy tracks.
Are there any real differences between the two bikes that would effect the above?
If you need anymore details or clarification just ask and I will do my best.
Thank you for any help and your time.

Those are very different sizes, wheelbase and effective top tube quite distinct. Be careful to get a bike that fits you whatever you do!
Seems like the tire sizes make the one-one better for sandy surfaces since it can have 700×2.25 tires vs 700×35. I haven’t had either.
If the boot zipper fits get it, if it’s too big find something else that can handle a 50mil/2.0 tire or bigger, even if it means running 650b instead of 700c.
