Mine would have 700 x 38 to 40c street friendly tires on it, lock out forks with at least
80mm of travel, I would like disk brakes, ( for the days off road in the mud ). A large gear range, 27 speed would not hurt my feelings, Upright riding style, suspension seat
post, comfort saddle, sealed bearings, nice 32 spoke rims, standard quality pedals, Topeak
rack, with trunk bag, large grips, cycle meter, good lighting for night riding, weigh around
35 pounds with all extras...and fit me like a glove, I like the larger frames, but do not want
to feel stretched out. And all this for under say 900.00 dollars... I'm still looking.
I guess I want it all, commute to town, road ride, ( fast is not a priority, but do not want
to peddle a MTB ), Go off road with confidence, and light touring, just a do it all in one Bike....Richard BTW, there are no wrong answers, only what you prefer.

Suburban Grind

my ideal hybrid:

light frame, not carbon, not scandium or beryllium alloys, cleanly polished welds,
angled top tube,
carbon front forks,
name brand quality wheels, welded mid-weight rims, 26" or 700c
rims for 28 - 40mm wide tires,
standard tires like Sport Contacts, Duranos, or Michelin City
32 or 36 spokes, 2.0 / 1.8 or 1.8 / 1.6 dia
upgrade "enthusiast" level saddle
decent v-brakes
three finger brake levers
all teflon-coated stainless cables
9 speed 12-28 cassette
triple 30-38-46 chain rings on forged cranks,
not that particular about shifters, want smooth, precise, fast-acting,
pinned platform pedals with nice bearings (get magnesium or titanium for the sparks?)
SRAM or KMC top-of-the-line 9-speed chain with power link,
flat bars with ergonomic grips,
sporty/ fast-reacting steering rake, relatively short wheel base,
22 - 23 lb in medium 17.5 - 18.5 size,
mount points for fenders/ racks/ lights,
metallic paint,

matching fenders and racks available for extra.
stay away from suspension because of extra weight, complexity and pogo effect
$1000 - $1300 price

Asking for too much?
