My Hybrid, which I bought new in 1992, has never left me wanting more.
...
Let me semi-take that back. I switched out the riser bar for a trekking bar. It left me wanting that much more. That little change made a huge change in my bicycle, after I got everything tweaked to my satisfaction. I can now ride with equal ease in prairie-dog mode far-bar mode, and ersatz aero mode. They'll pry those bars from my cold dead fingers... er... that somehow sounds wrong...

My Hybrid gets me from point A to point B in decent time, and it's not THAT much slower than the road bikes I see. It hauls groceries, is allowed in the local drive-thru lanes of banks and less busy fast food places, and it takes me on long (for me) trips and granny-gears me up the steepest of hills.
