What would you do? Specialized Sirrus vs. Schwinn SS
I have two frames, an '87 Sirrus, and '84 Super Sport. The Super Sport has never been built, needs a fork, has some paint chips and a little rust from storage, the Sirrus needs paint. Either way I going to need: wheelset, seat, stem, bars. I believe the two frames are nearly identical in quality. The sirrus fits me better by modern standards, but feels cramped compared to what I am used to.
From what I have read, the sirrus is exactly the same frame as the same year allez, so may have a bit more cache.
The plan is: Tubulars, and an 8 speed cassette. I'll run the shifter for the RD in friction.
What are your thoughts?
