Its unusual for such a traditional looking and practical bike to cause such a stir amongst die hard cyclists but the 2010 Globe Haul 1 is too stylish to ignore. The mixture of classic/retro styling and modern building techniques and components has created one of the I want bikes of 2010.

What is a Hybrid Sports Bike?
These are hybrids for the fit! Theyre more for the quick run into work or for a fast hour ride on the weekend rather than purely casual leisure riding. Despite having lots of gears, the lighter components often make this bike a closer relative to the road bike than the mountain bike. A wide range of customising accessories are available to fit these models. For more information on hybrid bikes see our Hybrid Bikes Buying Guide.
