Hi guys and gals, this is my first post after about a month of reading your very informative site. I will start by saying that I am looking at buying a bike to start getting back into shape on. When I first started this quest, I didn't really have much idea of how to go about it. I have to admit that one of the reasons I have been attracted to cycling is watching the Tour de France. That being said, I have no aspirations of being a bike racer. I am a 39 year old who is trying to quit smoking and wants to live a longer,healthier life for my 2 kids.

I think I have finally found the bike in my price range and abilbity. I am going to check out a used 2010 Specialized Sirrius Sport for $325. Is that a good price and is this a good bike to start on? Any input, good or bad is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
