You'll get a fairly upright seating position off that I reckon.
What do you mean by bar? Like the handlebars?

Yes, I was looking at it wondering if I could adjust the handlebars in some way to create more of an upright position.

I don't know if anyone knows about this bike, I can't tell if it has a quick release front wheel. I would like to have one.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on this. Does anyone have other suggestions?

It looks decent for the price. If you have much in the way of hills, then 11-34 on a1x isn't a huge range, although with a 42 tooth chainring you'll get up most reasonable hills.
Those brakes are the same as I had on my Boardman hybrid, and are decent.

You could angle it differently, so yep.

Looks perfectly ok for a entry level bike, I think you could do a lot worse. If they have the size you need and colour you like, I say pull the trigger now….
you only live once
bonus fact: you will literally never die of thirst on a long ride with this bike, it has fixtures for about 12 bottle cages….

OK, can you folks please compare the bike I've been looking at to this one? It's the same bike but setup differently. Is the 1 x drivetrain the better option? It obviously would reduce issues being a 1 x but I would appreciate feedback from everyone. I plan on getting an adjustable stem as well IF I need it and would appreciate suggestions for that. Thank you!

Personally, I would strongly prefer this one. I'm not a fan of 1x at all, but I ride mainly on road in quite a hilly area.
But 3x is becoming much less commonplace recently, as 1x has increased, most are now 2x.
In this case, you have the same set of rear cogs, but instead of just a 42 at the front, you have a 48 (so higher top gear for downhill and easy flats), a 36, and a 28 (so a bottom gear way lower than 1:1, which will get up pretty well any hill you could walk up).

Could you speak about the Derailleur, Shifters, Crankset, Brakes, etc? I did notice on the one I just posted everything is Shimano and the 1x is mixed. I'm unsure how the quality of these components compare to each other. My gut is saying the 3x is just going to introduce problems. I know the cross-chain thing (whatever it's called) but another derailleur as well. Kinda stuck.
