The lbs says they are men's bikes does anyone have any experience with these models? Both are good deals.
I ride a 22" frame...thats as purple as it gets. Color and tube shape are things that if you cant get over, then go elsewhere for other options.
Where I ride, its so recreational that I have never thought anyone on the trails cares what I am riding.
You are 5'3 and wanting to ride 27.5"(or larger) bikes...there is going to be a geometry challenge or two for the designers to overcome for all that to work.
