Specialized Sirrus - disc brakes

    Looking for one of these discontinued models.

    Basically what happened is some thieves went at my bike and cracked the frame, so I no longer think it's safe to ride.
    I wanted to buy a replacement frame and put all the components on but they don't make it anymore (of course)

    Any tips from this knowledgeable community on where I might source such a thing? I figure a 2nd hand model wouldn't kill me financially.
    Is it as simple as keeping trying on Ebay? (No luck so far)
    Who is the largest seller of 2nd hand bikes in Dublin?

    I'll buy a new bike if I have to but I just want to try this first.

    Thanks in advance

    Sean

    You should be able to transfer the components onto any frame with disc mounts, I wouldn't necessarily restrict yourself to a Sirrus.

    Good info. Much appreciated.


    Cycleways say they can't help.

    Can anyone recommend where I would shop for such a frame?

    Kona make a few disc-braked hybrids too - Cycleogical may be able to get a frame for you.

    I'm not sure how much these things cost, but I suppose between €200-500
