I’m thinking similar to my 1990s Trek 700, but lighter.
Mostly for paved paths and city streets. Light enough to carry up and down stairs so I can take it on subways and trains.
Me=early 60s female 5'1-2" with short legs. Trying to stay <$500 USD til I know how much I'm really going to ride and finances improve. I've no friends or family who cycle so grateful for advice, including these:
2022 Specialized Sirrus 2 step- thru $400

Trek FX 1 Stagger $500

And there's these used refurb'd by lbs. Otherwise had no luck in local used mkt

If you could test ride the new ones I would try that and see which one you like best. If it were me, I would go for the Sirrus simply because I’ve had great experiences with Specialized bikes (And it’s on sale)
Either of the new ones you linked are a better value than that used Fuji for $450. That’s a rip-off.
