Scott SUB 40 or Spec Sirius 2011 basic?
 

SUB 40 or Sirrius?

I am looking for a light hybrid and given what we have here in Bulgaria, I narrowed my choise to those two. That is the best I can afford.

I need a bicycle for the city, park (mostly paved alleys) and may be short trips (10-15 km) to the nearby village.

Honestly the Sirrius looks sportier and I somehow want the option to use the bicycle for fitness, but the SUB 40 looks more robust and classy :love:

I dont know :twitchy:

PS: would it be good idea to change the fork of either of these with carbon fork??

Hi aivn,

Here are some telling reviews of the Sirrius Comp (don't know which Sirrius you're looking at) and a Scott Sub 20. The Sub 40 is the same frame with a lower spec component set but you should be able to get a general idea.

Here is a page that should list the bikes that start with "S" and you can prob. find a review of the bike you are thinking of.

My review is the 3rd one down on the Scott Sub 20 page. I still marvel at its robustness and stability. I did get it for fitness and a commute, btw. One of my bike shop friends here told me that the Scott doesn't need much cosseting at all. You can adjust it and service it when it should be done but basically it'll just work for you, getting you from A to B without too much fanfare but with coolness and aplomb. I'll be getting a Sub 30 for my wife very soon...

Sorry i can't tell you much about the Sirrius as i didn't even look at them when i was comparing bikes, but they are a dime a dozen here in Tokyo — i see them everywhere. So they are probably okay if they are selling well.

Anyway, good luck making your choice.
