i am very happy with my acquired-from-70-year-old-dad diamondback parkway, (a hybrid?), ten years old, i guess.
i feel more relaxed sitting upright, so as not to strain my 40 year old back.
i had to add some fenders, and a rack, then strap a backpack with bungeecords.
(panniers are better low ,though, so in the near future i got to have a pair)
others are left original. 700c rims, 35 or 38 will be great since the roads here in jakarta, indonesia, are not always smooth.
