I've been looking at more bikes and mainly at the components and I'm going for the Specialized Sirrus Sport.

The only thing I'm worried about with the bike is that I might miss out on using drop bars (I have never used em and don't know if I like em or not). Any other drop bikes are too expensive (I know the DEFY3 is but I don't like the componentry as its bottom range shimano whereas the sirrus is sora not 2200). How would I go about converting the sport If I tried a drop and liked it (at the store before purchase??)

I could try a drop at the shop before I buy the sirrus sport and see what they can do If I like em...

I'll be training all up to August but not purely bike as I might take 2 months off to train for the local 14K city to surf Sydney fun run (like 70,000 compete every year, its massive). So i'll be running alot then.

Hey palookabutt do you reckon you could convert all those T. and cc's to mls and grams I don't know the conversion (or what T is? tablespoon/teaspoon).

Well i'm off for a ride now.
