Fixed riding has ruined love of gears

Toying with the idea of upgrading my geared bike and have spotted these 2 amongst others. Which one would you buy?

Second one is supposed to give a great ride on our uneven roads but not sure I like the odd shapes.

Well, you don't get to see it a lot when you're on it during a 70 mile ride - so I'd go for the most suitable for the type of riding you do.

Ponce round the park, do 10 miles in your replica retro jersey then spend 2 hours at a cafe sipping espresso with it propped up beside you? Go for the retro look

Like climbing hills\mountains? Go for the lightest.

LIke audax/sportives? Go for comfort and geometry suited for 4 hour + rides

Like racing? Go for the light responsive one.

LIke hanging it on your wall and not riding it at all? *Then *pick the one that looks nice.
