Bless with Riding Again.....

I discovered a "LNIB" 2011(?) Specialized Sirrus Elite Hybrid at a LBS after only one day of searching back in early December 2015. I placed it on hold, until I was able to ride a few other brands (new Cannondale, Fuji, Giant, etc.). The only hybrid bikes with comparable components and price were a new Fuji Absolute 1.5 and Specialized Sirrus Elite Disc for about $850 (after the Holidays Specials).

I haven't owned/ride in over 20 years due to multiple herniated disc operations and torn Achilles tendon. However, I could no longer allow those issues be a hindrance to my overall health (type II diabetic). I owned and rode previous bikes such as Specialized Mountain Bike, Peugeot Road Bike over 20 years ago.

To be honest, this "LNIB "2011(?) Specialized Sirrus Elite Hybrid is best bike I ever owned. Specialized Bicycle Components

Thanks to all who contributed to this forum; it really help with my decision. God Bless!!!
