Hello,

Here's my dilema. Size has limited my choices (I'm 5'). These are the 2 bikes available in my size from LBS. I am now trying to determine the best bike for the money. I wanted a step above an entry level bike and one that I can possibly upgrade as I become more experienced. This will be my first road bike and am trying to make the right choice. I have ridden both and couldn't really determine a difference probably because of my lack of riding any road bikes. So which one has the better components or I do I compare the 2? Thanks.

Kris
