Very upright mtb needed - suggestions?
Discussion
Due to back injury I need an upright mtb. My old bike (Giant Anthem) has already been sold. I know you can tweak any bike but I need it very upright and i don't want the handling to be completely ruined.
I'd also like rigid and singlespeed ideally.
Any suggestions?
I've seen the On One Bootzipper and Kona unit but I'm not sure they are upright enough.
Final issue, the budget is max £500 although 2nd hand is fine. I don't want to spend more until I know I can actually ride again.
Also, I usually go medium size frame. I'm considering a small frame to reduce the reach. Is that a bad idea?

Thanks for the replies.
It does sound odd but there is some logic to it.
I like simple bikes for one. Single speed means I have to get up and move around on the bike to ride it. I used to do long rides in a very fixed position and then struggle to get off the bike at the end. Being forced to move around regularly is a good thing.
The geometry site is interesting. I'll have a good look.
