More accurately, the OP said he wanted to be able to take long rides on a cruiser, and asked for tips on choosing and setting up a cruiser for long rides.

If I was in any kind of hurry I wouldn't chose it

And with modern cruisers, it's easy to mod them down to under 30 lbs.

Jimmie65, you might look at some of the brands that use 700c wheels. I think there are a couple out there that actually offer a couple different frames sizes, so maybe the "Large" would fit better.
