No, its actually an old beat up mtn bike, good for getting from A to B, but not fast.

Would a mtn bike w slicks be faster than a hybrid?

I might just say screw it and get a road bike and take it back to the shop when the rims get out of symmetry, but I was hoping there would be a nearly as fast alternative to a road bike.

Note: I don't usuallly need to turn much (3 or 4 times on my way to most destinations), so I don't really think i care all that much about hybrid/mtn bike advantages.

Thanks for the help so far.
