Nice bikes! I think 007 is winning, in case anyone's keeping score. Haha, just kidding, but that Trek is trick.
Two open beers, Timmy? Did you forget where you had left the first one?
'04 Marin Mill Valley. Upgrades include Time ATAC pedals, Fizik Nisene saddle, Thompson seatpost, Cane
Creek wheels, 105 rear derailleur, Gatorskins, Jandd rack, B.O.B. skewer, Road Morph. No Ultegra or XTR.

From a marketing standpoint the term "hybrid" has a far narrower definition and most people associate hybrid with the types of bikes that have already been posted here.

Let me skew the demographic here...

If only to illustrate that the definition of a hybrid encompasses a very wide range of bikes...

65'er - Trek isn't calling the carboniferous 7.9 FX a Hybrid anymore. They finally figured it out: Their warranty would drown 'em in debt when people went off-roading on the carbon 7.9.
The 7.9 FX is now a road-bike.
Wait a Boll-Weevil second - which Trek is that??
