Ok, now that I did some checking, I found such a bike on the REI website. Called the
Scott Sportster 50 Bike – 2015. The easy-riding Scott Sportster 50 bike offers a comfortable upright riding position and speedy, smooth-rolling wheels for mellow commutes, riding around town or cruising along your local bike path. http://www.rei.com/product/879474/scott-sportster-50-bike-2015 I don’t like the bike pictured, but put a quill stem on it, raise the handlebars, ditch the disc brakes and shocks... and it wouldn't be too bad. At least the Scott concept of a Sportster fits our concept to some degree.
