The Juliana is a
women's specific bike which means the top tube is ever shorter than the Superlight top tube. I thought about getting a Juliana but it would have been really too small for me. It depends on your body. If you have long legs, shorter arms it may work for you. Other thing to remmeber and why I got the Superlight instead, is the fork is smaller, not as heavy duty as the fork on the Superlight. Basically one is meant for guys and the other smaller, lighter women. If your weight is around 100 - 140 it would be OK.
