I was interested in your reply regarding the Sirrus Comp. I too am looking at hybrid bikes and have narrowed my search down to two: the Sirrus Comp (alum.) and the Jamis Coda Comp (steel). The Jamis has a rear deraileur (sp?) of Deore XT versus the Sirrus's of Shimano 105. Have you tried the Jamis? I would be interested in hearing your preference!

Thanks,
