I'm glad I stumbled across this post. I am considering buying the Trans Send EX after commuting for one year on a modified mountain bike. I'm looking for something a little lighter and more efficient, with 700c tires and all the trappings of a commuter, i.e., fenders, chain guard, etc. How do you feel about the seat position of the Trans Send EX relative to the handlebars and pedals? Is this "cruiser" type positioning comfortable, and does it allow you to pedal efficiently? Thanks for any feedback you can provide!
