Fairly nice all-black Specialized Sirrus Sport which I acquired a while ago on the assumption I might build up a modest tourer/utility bike but inevitably didn't get around to doing so.
Lightweight aluminium frame, wide gear range (8x3) from a mixed Shimano groupset. 700c wheels currently but expect it could take a fairly wide range given the clearances. Full eyelets for luggage etc.
All I've really done since owning is add the Tortec rack and the Turbo saddle. Rides really nicely, I very occasionally use it to do the 'big shop' with a couple of Ortlieb panniers and both the rack/bike seem to handle it comfortably.
Sizing is Specialized 'Large'. The shape of the frame makes it tough to size using the usual methods but if there's a particular measurement you think could be helpful let me know and I'll get back to you.
Only issues are slightly sticky changes when moving onto the largest chainring and the tension of the v-brakes is currently off - would like to sink a couple of hours into fixing these minor issues but a rapidly approaching house-move prevents me from doing so. Will chuck in a Specialized 'wedgie' saddle bag. Any questions, give me a shout.
No idea on pricing for this sort of thing.
I'll start at £120 collected from Hackney and see where that takes us.PRICE DROP TO £100!!! Got to be worth a tickle at that price?£65Cheers,
