Oh, there is one aspect of these two bikes that is different. While both are comfort bikes with a relaxed geometry, wherein their seats are back and down a bit from a standard bike, thus putting you in a more upright riding position. The 26" models are more relaxed than the 700 models.

When on the 26" model, you should sense that you are a bit closer to the ground and the crank is a bit further forward than on the 700. You should be sitting a wee bit more upright. This will make the handling feel different too.
