  1. 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.
