I know both of these bikes have been the subject of various topics. In any case both the Quick 5 and Globe Vienna seem to be the most economical ($450 vs $420)for their quality in this category (hybrid/fitness/commuter): lightness, comfort and price. I am going to purchase one of these bikes from one of two of my local bike shops. People, both vendors and riders, often compare the quality of components in bikes. I have no idea what to look for as far as the quality of components.
Does anyone have opinions or advice on how these two bikes compare component-wise?
