Pounced on this on craigslist today:
It is a Specialized Sirrus with a full 6 speed shimano 105 group. Nothing looks to be particularly broken on it, just a good overhaul and cleaning is in order. Luckily I live a block from the bike coop now.. Since I have no car, I walked to get it; luckily it was only a mile and a half away. As I attempt to get money from the ATM on my way there, it runs out of cash

. Anyway, not a $10 garage sale find or a dumpster find, but I paid $60 for it and it should fix up nicely. I plan to try to give it to my mother.
