Hi this is my first post. Thankyou for having me. I'm in need of a bike for commutes to do errands, and maybe a round the clock trip of 30 miles on a few occasions.
my budget is a measly £150. So I'm looking for sales and second hand bikes.
I've come across these two bikes
ENTURA HYBRID ALUMINIUM BIKE.26

Dawes Horizon Unisex Aluminium Hybrid Road Bike

I almost went for the Dawes for £95 but I coudn't find anything at all about the bike..unsual? and also I thought the frame looked like a girls bike because its so low. The Ventura I'm hoping to get for £100 but the owner needs to get back to me. If there was a choice between these two bikes which is the better deal? I'm also interested in speed, the ventura has a weight of (quoted) 13.5 kg.
I would really appreciate some advice from knowledgeable bike enthusiasts and if you know of any offers on at the moment that would really help me out. Thankyou for reading this.
EDIT: forget to mention I'm 5 7, I don;t know my leg size though, I've heard 16 inch frame would suit me but I can adjust an 18 inch to accommodate me
