It is a hybrid.
It's a nice frame too. Try urban slicks like medium pressure Conti Sport Contacts (60-70 psi) fast or Marathons -slower. Change the stem for a shorter/adjustable one tilted up a little to get weight off your wrists and back, and a set of MTB riser bars like the Easton EA30 or similar to give you a small backsweep for comfort - and you have a winner. Fix the saddle angle while you're at it. If you don't use the cow-horns, loose them.
The brakes wil lbe fine if the rims aren't worn. A cheap visual upgrade would be a set of Ebay Deore V-brakes, they should fit on the canti bosses. You'll lose the straddle wires and gain a little more precision. Check the fit first.
Keep all the bits you take off, if you don't like the result sell the bike in original fit. It's a winner.
