>>1067644>doesn't have road geometry or any road components, other than the tires, is somehow a road bike. It does have road geometry and everything other than the bars, grips, shifter, and brake levers could be considered road components. Well technically the seatpost is marketed for mountain bikes (RaceFace, don't think they make any road stuff) but it's just a bloody seatpost.
>Just the IGH alone will make it a hybrid.How so? Not all road bikes are for racing or gottagofast try hards, for commuting the extra weight and inefficiency don't matter that much. Say in 20 years gearboxes take over completely (not saying they will or won't, just a hypothetical). will new road bikes cease to exist?
