That's actually good news! I think having him more upright is the most comfortable for him. (I'm going to get DH on this forum so he can speak for hisself soon. )
We just brought home a 2004 Specialized Hardrock Sport that a friend bought and never used. Other than dust and two flat tires it's in perfect shape. And it's ours for 150$. Leaves us enough cash for the mods. Looks like it'll be fork, saddle, smooth tires and grips to start.
Thanks again for the help!
