I picked this up for $60 yesterday. Its in pretty good shape. Shimano 105 components, Mavic rims, etc. The bike is very clean and rides awesome. What do you think I could get out of it, around $200? Any info on this and year and stuff would be greatly appreciated. Should me a 1990 though if im not mistaken? Oh and its 55 CM from bb to tt.

Well for 60 bones, that is a really great find. The Sirrus was one step below the Allez although I don't know what tubing was used. IIRC Specialized had many bikes labeled as their own cro-mo. Although, I don't recall if the Sirrus was labeled as "direct-drive". I don't know if there was only one supplier for tubing or not. But it's most likely double butted, seamed tubing. New I think they ran somewhere around $700-$800 depending. I'd say really cleaned up, put a new saddle and some tape on and you could get around $200 for it. I love those old Specialized's and it's just my size!

Well, its all yours if you want it lol. Yeah I actually just overhauled the entire thing. Took a long time since it was my first real "overhaul". But man is is silky smooth. I am going to throw some white bar tape on it I think. I am not gonna worry about the saddle, its actually pretty nice. I listed for $300 because some people do really love these older light steel framed bikes. Who knows eh? No hits yet however.
