I didn't try the Sirrus as it appeared it has a similar geometry to the Jamis, i.e on the aggressive side of things. There is another bike in Specialized line up called the Vita that has a different geometry, and I don't know if that is worth trying given I think it is targeted at women?

Right now I would have to say that the Seek has the most upright ride of these bikes, followed by the Rapid. However, the Seek wasn't as smooth as I would like over rough pavement which gave me pause.
