Ok, Now I am 6 foot tall and weigh around 95 Kilos. I ride around 50 -
100k's a week, mostly on road or track, but every 2nd weekend I go a
little off road down small dirt tracks with tree roots sticking out,
and
a fair bit of gravel tracks.

Personally I wouldn't touch a comfort bike or hybrid with
a 670mm downhill bar! so my advice would be to have a
look at some mtb's in your price range.
Why does it need to be a comfort bike anyway?
If you are riding down some tracks with ob-stack-les
as opposed to the nice, sanitised council bike paths then
you are probably better off with an mtb. Hybrids are too
high and their wheels are too skinny (don't get me wrong,
I ride plenty of road bikes too).
MTB's are a very popular market segment too so perhaps
you would get a better deal on one than a hybrid?
Wait and see if someone with a bit more knowledge has
a suggestion though.

Check out something like the $700 Giant Yukon that Tim
mentioned in the "New bike?" thread.
