To me, both bikes look of similar quality. I was hoping you guys could give me some feedback (my friend is currently not available and the Sale ends tomorrow).

My requirements are:
– I wanna use it mostly for driving in the city
– I wanna do some tours on the weekends
– I like a more comfortable sitting position (not too deep)

Thanks a lot for your tips in advance!
