Just a situation of jack of no trades, master of none. Need to stick to pure mountain bikes, or pure road bikes. Because, well this particular hybrid anyway is in nowhere land for my purposes. Noob mistake. At least I learned something about my needs/wants, what to buy, and it wasn't that much of a loss. $450 out the door, and I'm sure I can get at least $200 for it on the used market. Even so, that lesson will still stick though lol.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, sorry for wasting your time on me, but maybe your info will help someone searching the archives in the future.
