the 2008 Sirrus Comp. A flat bar road bike and a triple. Always a most comfortable ride, i modified it a bid last fall, putting 700x32 tires on to prepare for some riding on some dirt roads, light sand etc. I didn't get to do that until today. On a 25 mile ride today, much of which was on the road, I got to also ride on limestone, hard pack dirt and a little mud (not much).

The thing is I bought this beauty new in 2008 and it has never disappointed me, its always a smooth, comfortable ride. I rode it regularly for a year pluss until I bought a Specialized Roubaix. I still ride the Sirrus from time to time and it is always a joy. Great ride on a great bike on a great day.

The sirrus is a bike that was- is and always will be good. Always worth getting out on one to find out what bikes should ride like.
