Hi

My wife is looking for a comfort bike (like a beach cruiser) where she sits more upright and has a comfortable seat. She also wants hand brakes instead of coaster brakes and is indifferent on gearing. We live in a very flat area, relatively short rides just for recreation. It's a salty area so I'd like aluminum and alloy materials where possible. Wheel fenders would be nice.

For her I was thinking maybe a 7speed...any thoughts on the following brands? Sun Cruz 7, Sixthreezero evryjourney (would have to put together or take to a bike shop), Electra townie 7d (little pricier than some others), momentum iwant park (seat looks a little skinny), Fuji Barnaby 7, Phat Cycles del rey, Raleigh retroglide 7 (is this a crank forward like others?)

As for myself, a 3 speed internal hub with a coaster brake might do.

Thanks for any advice or other suggestions you may have
