You're talking about a comfort bike. Lots of hybrids under 30lbs(every one I currently own,in fact) and many with rigid forks.

Braving hills? I live at the second highest point in DC. I do alot of steep hills. Come to DC and climb Loughboro from Sibley hospital to Ward Circle.

Your opinion. I liked my cross bike. Also like my touring bike. And my road bikes. And my hybrids.

Yes they have Dropbars.
