C&V has a lot of tolerance for off-topic threads.
I like the Cirrus. What changes are you proposing? I'm under the impression it comes with a flat handlebar. So are you proposing a swept-back handlebar? That might be a nice change.
The low level Shimano components are fine, really, especially since the bike still has a cassette and not a freewheel. That's an important distinction.
