That looks like the gears are on the stem, so I'd be more tempted by this which at least has STI's: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/dawes/giro-300-26-2013-junior-road-bike-ec050645
However, both bikes have 42/34 chainsets and 14/28 at the back which mean a top gear of 73GI which is lower than some here ride fixed. They also both have freewheels, so upgrading will mean a new wheelset should you decide to join the 21st century and get 10+ gearing.
Add in the steel fork, and they are both likely to be weighty, undergeared, expensive options.
