Rigid 26" mtn bikes (even mine,
) sure look less than elegant, almost apologetically awkward - but they can be very practical and ugly at the same time.

These two bikes are so different that certainly one must 'suit your fancy' more than the other. Pick that one to improve first. (tho' I hate stuck stems or seat posts)
