I definately didn't change my mind about hybrids and I definately didn't quit on my wonderful hybrid bike
Whenever I want to ride around for fun and exploration and exercise I use my hybrid since it can take ANY road or even when there is no road

The only reason I got this bike is to start practicing for timetrial races.
The body has to adapt to the new position and it takes a while to become accustomed to the way of riding and to achieve max power.
I got a good deal on a second hand nearly new frameset and so I just went for it

I still don't have a typical dropbar roadbike though and never will.
