You're missing the whole point. I'm looking for a fast rolling, flat bar road bike for fitness in the city. If I wanted I road bike with drops I would have posted in the road bike section.

I returned the Sirrus and picked up a new 2018 Canyon Roadlite CF 9.0 in size XXL. It was just released at Eurobike 2017 and will arrive the end of October. Can't wait!
