I'm finally decided on my bike. The specialized sirrus limited with carbon fiber frame, is this a good choice? My other choices were the Trek 7.7 fx and the Giant Rapid 1. Also was looking at the Cannondale quick sl1 and cannondale quick carbon 2. Is there an advantage to having a carbon frame on a hybrid bike versus just aluminum? Or is it just for show. I'm also planning on getting some sort of GPS system for my bike, probably the Garmin edge 500 or garmin edge 800. I also was thinking of buying the Trek 7.9 fx all carbon frame but it was discontinued and was a little to expensive for my tastes. Anyone here think the specialized sirrus limited isn't a good choice I would appreciate feedback and why. I'll mostly be riding the bike for fun and fitness and like the flat bar bikes versus. the drop downs on road bikes. I feel more comfortable on them. Also how long does the battery last on the garmin edge 800 and do they have replacement batteries? What's the difference between the garmin 800 bundle and the regular version. Do you get turn by turn navigation in both versions and color maps of destinations?? Thanks. Also does the regular version give you the speed in mph/kph or do you need the bundle for that?
Thanks
