I actually prefer the leaned over position of a road bike to a mountain bike. I have a fairly new mountain bike. Bought last year from my old LBS in Ohio while up there visiting. That store is great and they fit me to it to make sure everything was good. Of course we had to take the wheels off to get it home. LOL. I also bought my road bike (used men's 47cm Trek 2000) last summer. Although it's not a perfect fit (have made some changed thanks to our old LBS in Charlotte) that has made it fit much better, I'm more comfortable on it and it's almost exclusively due to the more leaned over position. We've actually made a couple of changes to get me more stretched out on the mountain bike which has helped.
