$200 sounds too low to me. The only way to know is to get a list of exactly what you need and price it out. If it was me I'd probably ride the Sirrus as it is and save my money for the road bike you want. When you're ready you could either sell the Sirrus or keep it for a commuter/shopping bike. I think it's a nice design.

I have a future son-in-law who isn't a bike rider. My daughter was brought up on bikes, but settled on a comfort bike as her bike-of-choice. I'd like to buy him a bike so they could ride together, but I worry that he wouldn't want a drop-bar bike initially. I thought a Sirrus would be a great bike for him! If he becomes a cyclist I could always help him get a "real" road bike later.
