I agree with the direction of the thread, a high rise quill, bars, or Satori stem extender can get you upright without committing to a bike that is a one-trick beach cruiser. Upright riding in traffic, sight seeing, joy rides,- great; but you don't want the weight, bulk, huge tires, and hi-ten & low-end components that usually come with those bikes. I have a lightweight 90s MTB that I've converted to an upright rider with a stem extender, trekking bars, slicks. But, I could convert it back to a legit MTB in a hour.
