Default Help with a couple vintage bikes please

Hey, I would love to buy a new road bike but am considering buyin a vintage to get a taste and see if I like it.
I'm 5'4'' so comin across a used road bike isn't easy! I have found a couple local bikes I think may fit me. If anyone could give me some advice on whether these bikes would be decent or not I would greatly appreciate it! I understand some upgrading would be necessary. That worst thing IMO would be having the shifters on the down tubes.

Here is some specs on a couple bikes I've found:

52cm (20.5") Centurion Lemans RS 14 speed road bike
*Tange 2 lugged frame/Tange Mangaloy lugged fork
Drivetrain
*Shimano 600 (Ultegra) crankset 170mm 53/39
*Shimano sealed bottom bracket
*Shimano front derailleur
*Shimano 105 rear derailleur
*Shimano 7spd cluster (freewheel)
*Shimano downtube shifters
*Shimano 105 pedals (toeclips)
Wheels/tires/brakes
*Suzue front/Shimano 105 rear hub 32 hole
*700c clincher rims
*Specialized Turbo R tires
*Shimano 105 SLR brakeset
Bars/Stem/headset
*Modolo 40cm Anatomic bars
*Modolo 90mm stem
*Shimano 105 headset
Misc
*Campagnolo seatpost
*Vetta saddle
*Corktape
*2 bottle cages
Notes:
Bike is in very good physical condition and excellent operating condition.




The other bike:

19"Frame Schwinn LeTour road bike. Nice Quality bike for the money
Bargain $165 for Quick sale - need the space.

Thats all the info this person gave. Pic looked good though.


Thanks!!!
