Here's the problem... the fit is quite different between these two so if one fits you well, the other won't. Or neither fits you well...

The geometry for all the Fuji Supreme's are the same, so look up any of them.

You need to compare stack (basically how tall is the bike) and reach (basically how long is the bike). A good bike fitter would guide you with the ideal stack and reach for YOU.
