Sorry if that felt rude. I'm in the road forum so maybe some of it rubbed off.

Some people are calling your bike a mountain bike. WRONG.

If this bike is a mountain bike, what is mine? 25c slicks, road saddle, road bottle cage, road-oriented gearing (though it could take me on a CX course quite easily). I have a 7spd Shimano Acera MTB drivetrain and MTB bars/barends/grips/shifters and MTB geometry. Does that make it a MTB? I think NOT. It is just a hybrid. A highly customized hybrid that is perfect for me.

Thanks AlphaDog, (got it, Front Fork)
