The "light and slow" bike does have much wider fork blades and bigger frame tubes than the "heavy and fast" bike, but would that matter from a a stop to 15mph?
If your maximum speed is only 15mph, then I doubt that frame and fork aerodynamics will have a significant effect. Your own body position is by far the major contributor to wind drag. Do either of these bikes have coaster brakes ? Sometimes coaster brakes can drag when pedaling even though they seem fine when spun in a workstand.
