I don't understand how anybody can for even a half-second think the position is uncomfortable.

It's true I can't stand on steep hills, but I get by.

Thanks JanMM. That size was fine!
I didn't see the neck rest but nevertheless it seems like a very reclined position even for a bent. I bet on the flat it is very fast though. Maybe someday I'll need to be in a bent to ride but for now I'm happy with my diamond frame bike. Besides, where I live a bent would be extremely challenging to ride. I have never seen one in my area.

edit. BTW, when I watch tv, I'm usually curled up in the fetal position. Anyway that's how I watch the Giants game today. LOL.
