Buying advice for replacement bike.

[shape]

Hi all,
I'm sorry to ask but was hoping someone would be kind enough to look at the following two bike's to advise which in there opinion is the better buy.
I'm not very clued up on bike's but have tried reading up as much as i can before i buy.
I'm replacing my claude butler urban 300 for something lighter.
I prefer flat bar's so have managed to narrow it down to these two, and i welcome your advice...

welcome to the forum Shape, seeing as it's evans, why don't you just pop in and try them and see which one you like?

also, the specialized is based on the one that won the topgear challenge a couple of years ago (race across london featuring a boat a car and public transport )

Thank you for the reply, I went to Evans and the guy basically told me they where both decent bike's.
If I wanted to look at one of them it would be a £50 deposit for him to order it in for me to look at, as they don't hold them in stock.
Not as helpful as I had hoped.
Thanks again for replying.
