trail is a mix of pavement and light gravel road.

yes i agree with the sirrus looks better. I was won over by that in the first place haha. However none of the local specialized shop carry it and they want me to pay just to test ride it. there is one that is 1hr20min away....just to far if I end up needing support. not that loyal to specialized yet..

what do you all think about this one?
