>>2007894Do you really want a slow cruiser?
This 'comfort' position is useless for real riding.
At higher speeds, or, into a headwind, (so basically on the flat), air resistance is a huge factor in your speed, and being that upright makes you incredibly inefficient.
You also can't climb hills without fucking up your back, because you're too cramped to stretch out properly.
You should look for a fit that allows you to have the handlebars at your correct saddle height. That is a good relaxed fit. Not significantly above it.
Actually a cruiser is great, they are fun to cruise on. I have a couple. But just know the right way to ride it is always slowly and getting off and walking up hills. If you think you'll want to actually try putting in effort ever then get something sportier.
I would say actually get a road bike but atleast get a sportier hybrid not a 'comfort' one for old ladies. You're gonna find dragging around 2" tires and through the air with maximum drag is not actually comfortable because it's so inefficient and you'll find it difficult to actually get anywhere.
