I don't know Repco but they look standard low cost, low quality bikes just like Apollo. Either bike will get you out and about, but you usually get what you pay for and these are cheap because they are poor quality frames and kit, relatively heavy, and often poorly assembled. Do think about what you want a bike for, then go and talk to your local bike shop for some sensible professional advice about the type and size of bike for you. If they don't have what you want at a price you can afford, then go elsewhere, but do at least get the advice to help you make a sensible decision. This is bog standard advice to anyone thinking of buying a bike but not sure what they want.

I think I'd prefer to walk. Buy a good quality secondhand bike. It's a lot less hassle in the long run.
