So I wouldn't be too critical of this design proportion without having ridden it, it might ride really nicely around town and might surprise a few people.

If anyone has ridden around on one of the old Schwinns with pull-pack touring bars, like the Suburban and varsity versions that came so equipped, they'll know what I'm talking about. A lot of people really love the way they ride, very relaxing, confident handling to the extreme, and with the right saddle very comfy as well.
