Thank you guys!
Lots of suggestions and I will make sure to test as much as I could.
When I bought it, I thought hybrid is useful for any surface and any distance. Looks like I was wrong.
Now I am interested in non-hybrids as long as fits my riding routine.
By the way that "Troll" looks good. I will definitely give a test ride.
Thanks again Muirenn and north woods gal
