I don't understand your point. That's a track bike, not a hybrid. Says "For track use only" right on it. Happens to have fatter tires and slacker angles. The Paris "Path" model from the 50's I referenced earlier is also a dedicated track bike. It does not have fatter tires and slacker angles. In Norris Lockely's CR post, he mentions that some UK makers described their dedicated track bikes as "path" models and others as "track" models - the machines referred to are not different with respect to angles or tire width. So the term "path" persisted to mean a "pure" track bike. There were also "road/path" frames, referring to the fact that they had characteristics of both types of bikes. Both terms are needed - the term "road" is there to account for the slacker angles, lower bottom bracket, etc. The term "path" isn't sufficient to denote those elements, because "path" means "track." The "road/path" is what most people mean when they use the term "path racer." In other words, the contemporary usage is incorrect as far as the historical models it refers to - which is why Hilary made the post he did: "A path racer is a track bike, nothing different."
