I'd just comment on the idea of "comfort bikes," and I don't know, maybe on the idea of selling people what they think they want, always a good idea, right? But the fact is that bikes which are ridden long distances always feature a bent-over riding position, torso at about 45°. Why? Because our backs hate getting jarred, but they love being bent. Upright is like a pile driver as the bike goes over bumps. Bent-over, the spine just flexes and it likes that. Bent-over isn't about speed, it's about comfort. Anyway . . .
