Man those have seen better days ! I'm putting the tires on the back burner for a while, since I discovered the over tightened
hubs, it is rolling much faster on the road, winter is coming, and my want to keep a little more grip on one bike. Still have the
Schwinn with road tires, and even after the long ride on the F4 last night, then rode the other a few miles just for fun.
Pains gone, in the upper arms, just the normal old age ones, LOL. I guess my F4 is really just a MTB with racks and lights,
but as one poster put it, A Hybrid is defined by how you ride it. And to me it is a Hybrid, ( Best suited for my needs ), when looking
at where we live, a Hybrid could mean many things to different people. Like my gearing 22 32 44 with 11- 34 9 speed rear, then
I see 10 speed rear, ( 11-28 ) ,with the front like a road bike, and running 30 - 32 mm tires, and call them large, but who starts out
there ride with a 1/2 mile up hill 350' ascent, before hitting pavement, then riding 5 to 10 miles before leaving the road on non groomed
trails for how ever long, then having to ride back. And even the road ride hills are steep and long, so my one do it all bike, ( FOR ME )
is a Hybrid....Very Nice Pictures off your bike builds though, I love building them from scratch, The F4 is in danger of the band saw now.
Want to move the shifters in, and cut off 1 inch both side of the handle bars....There TO wide, did it to my last MTB..Building your own bike
is much more fun, but the dollars can get crazy ! God forbid that Cannondale shock breaks, off to the factory..LOL.. Richard
