Exactly; where is the arbitrary line between “hybrid,” “flat bar road,” “drop bar MTB,” “city bike,” or anything else? Is it about bar type and tire size, or gearing and geometry, brake type or saddle thickness? I think it’s more about consumer expectations than anything else, so sell it as the category with the most appeal, or more specifically, with the highest perceived value.
