I have a bike in stable which is both yellow and red - unquestionably the slowest bike I own (except for the one with no wheels). Maybe once I have actually ridden it I will feel differently.

Bar ends or new style handlebars, will turn any flat-bar bike into a whole new bicycle. Now that I've gone trekking, I'll never go back to the risers my '92 (red) crossroads came with.

I appreciate that.

You have been warned.

I have a 2013 Specialized Sirrus Elite-no disc brakes, my most comfortable ride. Mine is silver/gray, I like it!
