I have kind of hybridized my HardRock MTB. Skinny tires, drop bar ends. I do wish the front fork locked out. I use it as my recreational ride and commuter (with added rear rack and bag, lights, etc).

The Novara Randonee is a little bit of a hybrid. Moustash bar instead of the drops. Also, a brooks b-17. It is not a comfort bike except on really smooth ashphalt

Gary Fisher calls this a hybrid. I call it the bike that got me back into cycling again after 20 years.
When you talk about "smiles per mile", this baby has delivered.
First thing I did was to replace the stock knobbies with a set of Armadillos

Bikes: pre-1993 Specialized HardRock, has Suntour derailleurs/shifters
Got this bike several years ago from a thrift store. The previous owner added slicks and reflective tape. I recently (about a week ago) added rack, crate, and reflectors. It's in need of some serious cleaning around the drivetrain, though I recently got the chemicals to do this.. But even that won't fix the worn chain/cassette :/
I know this bike was built somewhere between 1989 and 1994, just going by the derailleurs/shifters:

My Raleigh Passage 4.5. Bought it last February. I've added the saddlebags, bottle holder, Road Morph pump, and a $10 Walmart computer. Been a good bike so far. Far smoother and much lighter than my Trek 820.
