I bought a Specilized Sirrus Sport Hybrid this year - 2006 model in Grey and thought I'd post a few thoughts.
I'd been riding a Specialized Expedition purchased in the US which rekindled my interest in cycling and got me into the regular 12 mile habit which I've now expanded to 25 miles on a run.
The Sirrus Sport is a great bike with a compact frame, excellent geometry and great speed and weight without the ramped style of a road racer with drops. The gears Shimano Tiagra are smooth and fast and the suspension seatpost is a real boon.
I'm 6'1" and the 58cm frame is a tad on the small side - specialized call this Large and it's fine with some adjustments. I've added Shimano SPD clips, a wireless computer (TWINS from eBay) as well as dual bottle cages.
The tyres are very robust and in 1800 miles I've had not one puncture from the standard specialized Nimbus despite copious country lane mileage.
I did the C2C on the machine in May 2006 and it was difficult to fault, being speedy, comfortable and ruggid all in one.
Verdict - Recommended - time to upgrade.
