When I returned to cycling 8 months ago I almost bought a hybrid, but then decided (at the last minute) to service my old Carlton racer instead and ride that for a while to get a better idea of what I really wanted. After riding my Carlton for a few months I realized a hybrid wouldn't be for me and that ideally I'd like a modern road bike instead. But then I figured I'd already got a racer I was happy with and if I bought a new road bike I probably wouldn't wouldn't get that much in terms of additional performance and enjoyment. Also, I'd end up with 2 bikes that were both only suited to the road and so I figured that the most 'bang for the buck' in terms of enjoyment would be to buy a mountain bike instead (that way I'd end up with one road bike and one off-road bike). Anyway, that's what I'm planning to do unless you persuade me otherwise before weekend.
