if anyone has any advice about which is the better of these two I'd be grateful:

I went for this: http://www.optima-cycles.nl/main/en/modellen/14.html?Itemid=27
I test-rode a Bacchetta Cafe as well but that has a front derailleur, which I can do without the hassle of. Also the hinged steering pole made it all a bit wobbly. The Hopper has disc brakes and a rack as standard, which are both extras on the Cafe. OK it looks like an overgrown Raleigh Chopper but I like it
