I have a Kantara GT.  Purchased to have a half-breed semi-off-road bike to 
use with my kids.
Long story, but used to have a Schwin LeTour - 1980, purchased in 1981 new.  
I was new to biking at time, frame was about 2 inches too big for me (or was 
that tire size?).  Anyway, after many, many faithful touring years and miles, 
needed to trade it in, since I was getting older (Now 40) and frame was just 
too big a stretch.  Though loved the original GRAB-ON cushions that still 
showed NO sign of wear after 15 years!!!
Now that I am starting to get back into  road trips, can NOT afford another 
bike for touring, AND Kantara is uncomfortable.  Aside from putting skinnier 
road tires on rims, which is possible I understand.  
What can I do about straight across handle bars (miss wrap-arounds on raod 
rides, terribly) and the length from seat to handle bars is same as schwin 
LeTour was for me, which is correct for off-road riding but NOT road riding.?
And the seat could probably be changed back to the leather skinny riding seat 
I kept from LeTour, but the current seat's angle is back and not forward like 
I need for road rides?
Any suggestions?  What about handle bar extensions I've seen?  
Please help?
