I recently got a Schwinn Rocket mountain bike. I am having more fun
riding than I have had for a long time, reminding me of the days when
I rode all over town for transportation.
The Rocket is a full suspension bike, which means leaning forward.
For many rides that would be just the thing in the back woods and
trails. Yet a more upright position would be much more comfortable
for just putzing around the neighborhood.
It looks like different handlebars would do just that and moving the
shift and brake levers shouldn't be that hard. I am wondering if
anyone knows anywhere that sells handle bars that would turn a
mountain bike effectively into a full suspension hybrid. If not
anyone ever make their own handlebars for that purpose?? Ideally it
would be a system where if I was really heading into tough terrain,
switching back to the straight bars wouldn't be a big deal but still
have more comfort on the streets.
