Absolutely a hybrid. If that's OK with you. I said "Nice hybrid!" to a friend riding a sweet Colnago roadie customized with risers. He didn't smile when i said that, not everybody wants to be a hybrid rider. My Marin is marketed as a "flat bar road bike" to appeal to a market that doesn't want a so-called hybrid, but it's a hybrid, and AZ's Colnago is no longer a road bike.
