Is Marin FC a good choice? Is there something with a lower price?
They weight doesn't bother me that much, it just consumes a bit more energy going uphill. I'm prepared for rustproofing the insides. I like the more upright position, easier to enjoy the scenery. It should be ok to flip the stem and remove the spacers for a "faster" position with less air resistance, right?
