One of the downsides of the Sirrus, according to a LBS, is the suspension seat. A plus is the carbon fork. The Fuji, again according to the LBS, could pretty much hold its own as a road bike (although that’s not a big plus as far as a buying decision). Components seem about the same (Shimano Tiagra and Deore on the Sirrus, Tiagra and Sora on the Fuji). Specialized seems to have a bigger dealer network, again which might not be that big of a factor.

The Fuji shop offered to swap out the seat for a Trek (more comfortable) and the pedals, putting in a set that are clipless and non-clipless.

Hoping to make a decision this week but am leaning toward the Silhouette. Anyone have any additional comments, recommendations.

Thanks.
