Anothing thing is to consider is tire width. For urban general use you want wider, fatter tires. The KHS Flite 100 comes with skinny 23mm wide tires (700x23c), whereas the Masi comes with much wider 28mm (700x28c) tires. All of my urban useage bikes have 28mm or wider tires on them. Far fewer flat tires on rough and glass covered urban roads.
