I just checked out the Sirrus Comp and see it's a hybrid type bike; yeah, definitely size down.
Did Sirrus used to be a road bike? I was thinking it was, for some reason.
Looking at the geometry, those are pretty long and slack-headed, and have a good amount of trail, so it's not what I'd call a quick handling bike. Bring everything in with the smaller frame will be good, and hopefully make it feel more reactive.
I think it should be a great bike for exploring NYC, though!
