Hi,
My first post in the Hybrid Forum. I've been on BF since 2007, but on the C&V Forum, as that's the era of my obsession.
But I like and enjoy bikes of all kinds. Just a matter of affording them.
Recently, I serendipitously came upon a relatively modern Specialized hybrid for a good price.
I had no idea what model it was until it was delivered. A 2010 Sirrus Sport.
I love my C&V, but I had to bow down to modernity with this all-rounder.
I had a wonderful riding 94 Schwinn Crosscut drop bar conversion. I would've been happy to own and ride that one till I dropped. But it was stolen.
And appropriate, since I had a 1989 Sirrus road bike that was one of my casualties of my old collection (stolen too). Funny how karma works out.
Some great rigs on this forum! I plan to do a big bike tour on my Sirrus. Looking forward to picking up advice on these modern rides.

I will add a rack after test riding and set it up as a tourer.
