I ended up getting a used 2015 Kona Blast that looks like it came straight from the shop floor. I'm not sure the owner rode it now than a couple of times.
So it's another hardtail mountain bike, although for some reason this one had 26" wheels instead of the 27.5" the model is supposed to have, but the price was right. My posture is still hunched over, but it came with a rear rack and a front fender, so that's an upgrade over the old Nitro for commuting and local grocery shopping.
