I get what Mike was saying but it started out as a MTB thread, who cares if a hybrid is mentioned.
Its all good discussion.
People should worry less about the correctness of peoples posts and more about offering
constructive advice.
Anyway I have now purchased a Giant Farrago "Hybrid" and should pick it up tomorrow.
Enough said.
