Here's another you might like -- I like it and haven't even bought one yet. But I'm considering hybridizing an older road bike to make a lightweight, quick cruiser for days when my neck and shoulder are bothering me. A friend did something similar with an older Trek road bike -- cruiser handlebar, Selle Anatomica saddle. Pretty sweet, very comfortable, about 5 lbs lighter than most hybrids.
It's the
Velo Orange Porteur, in anodized black. Nice look for bikes that wouldn't look quite right with shiny chrome. Less rise than the albatross, plenty of knee room and arm width to avoid constricting the chest. And most swept bars can be trimmed to suit the owner, especially if bar end shifters are added. Still low and aero enough forward hand position to keep up with the local B-group or that faster friend who doesn't mind us drafting as long as we can keep up.
