>>991749it's called a flat bar road bike. you know those triangles that bicycles are made out of? they don't just create them willy nilly; they actually have a geometry and purpose to them in affecting how the bike performs. it's crazy, but there's actual engineering behind bikes and how they're designed around these triangles. throwing a flat bar on a tri bike doesn't make it a hybrid, just like throwing road bars on a dh bike doesn't make it a hybrid.
