I bought a Schwinn Cream (single speed/step through) from Performance for about $200. It is not that heavy but heavy as compared to my road bike. I also have a Schwinn Loop (folder) that weights at least 30lbs. The folder seems to be heavier than the cruiser but I have yet to weigh it. I think you should try either one of the Schwinns or Breezer. KHS makes a step through called Green that is cute and has that dutch look everyone seems to be crazy about these days however, it has coaster brakes that need to go.
