In the past 2+ weeks, I bought a Schwinn Aerovane cruiser. Very nice, simple bike. But wayyyy to big and heavy. Returned that, and bought a brand new Schwinn Hinge for a song. I have to say, I really like this bike. I have adjusted the seat and handlebar stem so I am riding upright. There's no way at this point in my life (I'm 67) I can ride bent over and get used to it. Anyway, the Hinge is NOT as quality a bike as my Speed Uno, but it has the 100mm front axle dropouts so I can electrify.
As an aside, the brakes, though no name, are completely adequate for my usage. I am very impressed with the bike.
