Help Please

I'm looking for a "comfort" bike to use around town and take on trips.

Currently, I have a pretty pristine '86 Raleigh Competition I still ride on the longer hauls(it suits my purpose). I have a Giant Yukon for trails and dirt roads, etc.

I was looking at the "comfort" bikes for the upright urban ride. I do ride in the city a lot and they seem to actually be comfortable as their name implies.

I've checked the performance bike location and searched the net. On that note, I found a site called bikesdirect.com I was wondering if anybody had any information on the bikes off that site? It seems the price might be to good to be true.

I was looking at a motobecane jubilee http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ne/jub_dlx.htm . Can anybody shed any light on these? I like it because they sell a 24" frame and I'm 6' 6".

Any input or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
