hi there,

ive been riding a road bike and neck and back problems have been an ever present issue.

i want to get into something more comfortable, more upright.

i rode a rivendell sam hillborne recently. i really liked it. it did seem a bit out of my price range.

i want something that is a cross between a dutch bike and touring bike. maybe a touring bike with upright albatross bars on it.

wondering how others have addressed back problems and neck problems. thanks.
