Hello From Dedham Massachusetts
Hello All,
I'm new to the forum, hoping to learn about bikes and peoples opinions as I shop for new, probably straight handlebars "performance" hybrids for myself and my partner... Looking at Trek FX 3, Jamis Coda, and Fuji Absolute 3 so far... would appreciate any insight you would care to share.
Thank you,
Joethecarpenter

Hi Joe, I used to work in Needham. 
I bought a Bianchi hybrid at Harris Cyclery in Newton.

Welcome to Bike Forums. If you're looking for a "performance" flat bar bike you need to look at flat bar road bikes. The Jamis Coda is a flat bar road bike and a great bike. We sold loads of them when I worked at the bike shop as my semi-retirement job.
