I also like the Mistral. The seat has a wide range of adjustment -- very upright to very reclined. Upright adjustment feels more allert when riding on public roads and it allows more comfort in looking around. Reclined adjustment will help against wind on longer rides. Plus, that nice suspension will keep your tailbone from getting jarred:=)
If I were looking for a new bike right now, I'd seriously consider the Mistral.
