That's because, again, he target market here is not ******bags on the internet who think they can tell the difference in ride between a couple degrees in seat tube angles, but don't realize things like that comfort bikes have 26 inch wheels rather than 700c... for instance.


And no, the geometry is not similar between these two bikes. Understandably, you're making that mistake because they... both have two wheels and are photographed from the side.


The component setup is fundamentally different as well. To see these differences, take for example the seat tube angle, the type of saddle--which accommodates a different rider position, the wheel and the tire size, the suspension fork on the comfort bike, the type of brakes, the head tube angle and the saddle-to-handlebar height difference.



This is not a subject I'm very interested in so I'm not going to keep bothering with it, but it is always entertaining to see the way people guess at something and then try to back up their points on this forum.
