This bike has a bit of a story. 6 months ago I was working at a convenience store. I was looking across the road one day and I noticed what looked like three bikes leaning up against a shed. After my shift, I went over and looked at them, and was surprised to see that they were actually pretty good looking bikes. One I couldn't find a brand on, another was an old Dawes, and the third was a Specialized. There were weeds growing up around them in such a way that revealed they hadn't been ridden in years. Unfortunately, I was getting ready to move, and actually selling bikes in order to make the process easier. It didn't make much sense for me to inquire about these ones. Instead, I tipped off a bike collector friend of mine, and he went over and asked the owner, who gave them to him. I have been silently bitter about this ever since. A few weeks ago this same friend had a bike sale, so I talked him into selling me the Specialized for 20 bucks. I feel like a little bit of a sucker for paying for something that I essentially got for him, but whatever, it was worth it.

Does anyone know anything about these? It's a Sirrus. All shimano 105 stuff.
