If you buy the bike with those wheels included, it’s going to be hard on your arthritis.

It is probably a sporty go fast bike leaning toward an aero riding position. A more relaxed position with bars at seat height or even slightly above would put less weight on your wrists.

I don't exactly what they are. We'd need better photos. But the trend for paired spoke wheels was started by Rolf in the mid-1990s.
