Should I save up more money to get an upgraded Sirrus? I'm 42 years old on Monday married with three little boys one two months old. We are into boating and beaching mostly as a family and music I play accoustic guitar. The kids play multiple sports and time is simply not there as a single income dad.If you know about ACL therapy is a key component to getting better. We live by the shoreline and we have a wonderful bike route that will be my way of getting on the bike and enjoying the scenery while exercising the knee. I especially love the higher end Sirrus but I just can't do it right now. 2016 base model black and white is a clean look that I can live with for now. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks love this site.

Picked up a used Women's Sirrus for my daughter. Had some parts swapped out but I do like the bike. Quality is exceptional, good basic components and remember you can swap out parts with better quality parts later one.
