Hey there, 3S1M. That
red Schwinn that you and I were conversing about in the Cruiser Forum is set up similar to a full size BMX cruiser. That's pretty much what I was looking for and why I scooped that bike up when I found it on Craigslist. The seat tube on that bike is more laid back than on a "10-speed bike", so it's more relaxed in that regard. Plus, the old handlbar I put on were named a mountain bike bar many years ago, but now are called comfort bike bars. Basically a BMX style bar without the cross brace.
Below is a variant of a BMX cruiser I had my eye on. It sure looks more BMX and more up to date than my red Schwinn. About 59 gear inches, per
Sheldon Brown.

Edit to add:
Here's another that's really closer to the red Schwinn. Coaster brake single speed. Pretty cool lookin' bike, but at 71 gear inches it's much higher geared than that full size BMXer above.
