The first bike is only a frame & a few parts and the second is a complete bike? Sort of hard to test ride an incomplete bike.
What does your wife want?
Hi, I live in Turkey and there is not many options to choose from. These are the only decent looking 49-50cm frames in some 1000 listings. Prices are ok for me since my third option is ebay, and this means paying $100 for shipping.
My wife is not a cycling person. She says yes to own a bike because I'm happy when riding and she wants to participate. She is not demanding and she can not name any of the components on a bike properly (ok, apart from wheels) if I ask. So, when I show her a bike she mostly decides according to its painting scheme if that is a "good" bike or not. She is lovely, isn't she
