And Finally to the last few
So I have been thinking of getting a hybrid - and after a few test rides, I have narrowed it to 2. The Jamis Coda Sport and Giant FCR 3. Both seem comfortable to ride, with FCR 3 seeming a bit more comfortable - perhaps because the handle is not as cramped as the Coda, but all in all I am leaning towards the coda.
The one bike I wanted to try but couldnt is Trek 7.2. I would like to get a few opinions as to the technical comparison of the bikes - which has better components. Also is Coda Sport changing much between 2007 and 2008 - should I wait out a few weeks and get the 2008? There is no price difference and I dont mind the colors (red or blue). Thanks All!
