See, now this is exactly the point I've been trying to make!

Just what is the difference between a hardtail MTB with a rigid fork and a hybrid?

What is the difference between a hardtail MTB with front suspension and a hybrid with front suspension?

I was once of the opinion that there were just two types of MTN bikes. One with front suspension only, a hardtail, and one with full suspension. One in the back and one in the front. I come here, and suddenly things change. What's up with that?

So, I guess that must mean that a Surly Ogre is a hybrid too! Huh?

A Surly Troll is a hybrid too! Huh? ...Oh..Wait a minute! Don't tell me! A Surly Pugsley is a hybrid too! Huh?

Jaheesus Xrist! Please don't tell me that!
