Greetings from North Dakota!
After being away from cycling for decades, I just bought a Sirrus City. It's not at all like my old Shimano 600 equipped Reynolds frame. 
I have lots of questions about these new-fangled gimmicks.
Otherwise, 2 grandkids, 8 cats, 1 house, 1 car.... I spend most of my "free time" on Second Life painting boats. Hopefully, the new bike will get me out and about enough to recover my wind. (I used to be in really good shape.)

Hello Trifina,
I'm glad your getting back on the bike! A Shimano 600 Reynolds steel bike is a classic rig that will be hard to replace, but I hope you find the enjoyment your looking for in the Sirrus and some Answers here on bf.net.
