Title: Are they asking too much for this bicycle?

Several years ago, I bought a bicycle, hoping to ride it for a little exercise. It was a standard, upright bicycle, with six gears and handbrakes. I can't get comfortable on the thing, my legs are too long to sit back, and the handlebars are too far away to sit upright. I basically feel like I'm taking my life into my own hands every time I get on this bike.

I used to spend hours riding around my home town on a Schwinn Manta Ray (24") I borrowed from my neighbor, the bike i question looks like it would be just as comfortable, with the added bonus of having a coaster brake. I'd like to get this bike, does anyone know of a similar package, maybe even with a higher sissy bar with a padded headrest, a springer front end, and a rack I can use to transport small quantities of snacks/liquor back to my abode?

Can I get it with a banana seat, coaster brake, high sissy bar (w/headrest), and ape-hanger handle bars? A three speed nut-cracker shifter would seal the deal.

No, the Men's 1-speed and 3-speed Cruisers come sorta close but emphasize cruising comfort.

Before: a very old pre WW II bicycle.

After: a great deal of work and creative effort returns a piece of two wheeled history to the streets.

That's beautiful, did you do that restoration yourself?

That is an example of a restoration from the link in the post. I have done simular restoration work. I'll find the disc with the pictures of the best ones and get them online so I can do links to what I did.

The best one I did was a Columbia skip tooth from the 1920s. I rent it to a bike shop which has it on the wall as static display for 'atmosphere.' I am going to let that lease expire (in a cople of years) as I haven't been able to ride it around for a long time.
