The effective top tube length (The tube that goes from the seat to handle bars) appears very short. This gives a very upright riding position which is less than ideal for speed (but good for comfort). Not much can be done to change this – putting the seat back as far as it will go, and lowering the handle bars might help a little. So I went out and bought a used Kent Sierra Madre in good shape for $140 at a local bike shop, which turned out to be a comfort bike.
Some simple repairs are quick and can sometimes be carried out on the spot whilst other repairs can require more time and possibly require a part ordering in. Many people would call the Kent a hybrid, and ‘comfort’ sounds more like a marketing term designed to highlight the suspension. I think you just learned a lesson about what you want out of a bike, so don’t feel to bad – you didn’t buy the wrong bike type by mistake. Play with pressure starting at highest on side wall and lowing it a few PSI at a time till you find a sweat spot of comfort vs rolling resistance.
