>>1486619the flat bar is good for short trips
and the upright seating makes it easier to look about, and repostion your weight on the bike
it kind of limits speed to 30 kph unless you put in a bit more effort
but this is less of a big deal if you are in an urban environment where changes in speed are frequent
>>1486605kind of strange
its got three chain rings up front
and what looks like a medium cage rear derailleur
so aside from the wheels and handle bars its not super road focused
maybe more like a touring bike
I think either is a decent choice it just comes down to how comfortable you are with drop bars
and to what extent the bike will be used in rough or low traction situations
