Does this Specialized Sirrus have pannier mounts?
I am interested in buying this bike because of the price and my first time doing a road tour (San Fran to Pismo Beach). I can't tell if there are rack mounts on it, which is essential for what I am trying to do with the bike. Can anyone tell me if this frame and fork will support rack mounts?

Unfortunately, this Sirrus doesn't have eyelets on either the fork or rear dropouts for mounting racks.
A very long time ago, Blackburn used to sell a kit that would adapt a rear rack to a frame without eyelets, but those haven't been around for ages... especially since vertical dropouts arrived on the scene.

Nope, doesn't look like it has any kind of eyelets for rack or fender mounts. You "might" be able to mount a rack using P-Clips, but I would rather have the eyelets.

I read some other forums about this bike which said there were mounts, so I ended up buying the bike before I read all of your guys comments... Live and learn because now the guy won't do a refund and I am forced to resell it on craigslist.
