My wife is looking at starting out. Which one would you recommend. They are priced about the same and both have very similar components.
Only real difference is different bike shops. I like both but the Devinci shop is a little more homey feeling.
What do the gurus of bikes think?
Be wary of the “WSD” marketing theme. There can be some issues such as incorrect handlebar width (sometimes too narrow), weird steering due to a too-short stem out of the box and other quarky items like a 25 cm long (too short) saddle.

We have had some luck with WSD. It makes a HUGE difference for some women. The relationship with the shop is a bigger deal. It is the most overlooked, underappreciated part of the process (my less than objective opinion). If you are comfortable, that speaks volumes. Make the human connection and everything with the bike will work out fine.
