Suggest a Good Hybrid with Very Upright Comfy Position?

[itaa]

What would you suggest be the best stuff I could get for circa 500-900?
-Is lightweight and nimble
-Large tyres
-Very upright position, I want it to be a cruiser -relaxing to drive bike.
-Front suspension would be a huge bonus.

Your spec is a little self contradictory. A cruiser type bike with large tyres and suspension forks isn't going to be light or very nimble I'm afraid. The best I could think of is this:

You really don't need the sus forks as the bigger tyres will provide more ride comfort that they ever can and will just add to the weight.

Good call /\

OP, as said, think hard as to whether you need front suspension.

Also Kona's Dew and Spice ranges, perhaps.

Upright, have you tried this as it is very uncomfortable for some, even more so some of those with back problems.

I rode a Specialized Arial for a number of years. Not particularly light but meets all your other criteria. It had the best brakes of anything I have ever ridden and I rather regret having to get rid of it.

The riding position you describe is similar to that of a Dutch bike.

If going Dutch, you might as well get a bike from Holland - a Gazelle.

Gazelles are nicely made, proper bicycles that could last many years.

Not exactly light, but few of us can have everything we want.

I think the OP might live in Finland?

In which case Pelago Cycles look like they have some models to suit:

Classic Bikes look like they stock Pashley who have some cruiser types.

I have an older style Trek hybrid that I love, a 7100 Multitrack. I sit very upright and my bike is comfortable but handles well and has a front suspension that is handy for rough trails, if you can find a decent used one I highly recommend this bike! Tires are 35s but you could go wider without fenders on if you wanted more of an off-road bike. They have some nice less expensive hybrids in this year's lineup if you want new, check out the FX or Verve models. Suspension seatposts and braze-ons for fenders make the Verve a good choice if you want a comfortable daily driver.
