Dan, The bikes you are posting about have adjustable stems, and they look very similar to the one that came with my BD flat bar bike. If the stems are like the one that came on my BD bike, then be ready to swap out the stem for a fixed one since they flex considerably. The geometry also looks similar to my BD bike, so be careful about smaller tires sizes, since the bottom bracket height is low to begin with, making pedal ground clearance on the inward turning pedal a real issue if one forgets to bring it up in time when making turns.

Another thing, both of my BD bikes had some sort of shipping damage or improper factory component installation, so be prepared to possibly do more than just some minor assembly work.
