Leader 721 or 722 Heritage lo ?

Hi again guys, locally someone is offering me some pretty good deals in both of these, both complete bikes, one is 53 cm and the other is large (the 722 lo heritage) 55cm .

Now, i am 5'8 , i really want a bike i can depend on, i got the basic understanding of difference between the two at the local bike shop in which one is more expensive and the front is made different.

But i also would like your input and to know which would you guys pick

Also i really want to be able to customize as much as possible, i don't know if this will be a factor deciding

HELP ME GUYS.

and thanks

They're two entirely different frames and a 53cm 721 is nowhere near the same size as a size large 722 Lo.

721 is Alu, heritage is steel, geo is different which means sizing and measurements will be different too.

Buy them both, sell the one you don't like on CL.
