Specialized drop-bar tourer/cross/commuter/road bike 58cm (sold)

blorg

Selling my Specialized Sirrus Elite tourer. This was a flat bar bike that I converted to drop bars and used primarily as a tourer. I currently have 700x23c race tyres on it but it is a very versatile bike and will take up to 700x35c tyres easily without the mudguards, probably a bit higher (the 700x35 I used were Marathons which are wide.) I have stuck cyclocross tyres and done a bit of that on it too. Bike is as you see in the pictures above; mudguards are included but no rack. The bike has mounting points for both front and rear racks. For the last year I have used it as my turbo trainer bike which means no cycling outside and probably around 4 hours use; I can't stand the turbo. Gearing is 52-42-30 front 12-25 rear 9 speed triple (27 speeds.) Size-wise I am 6ft with a 33.75" inseam; it would probably suit around two inches height either side of that. Slightly compact frame so there would be flexibility with stem and seatpost.

End of the Camino de Santiago:

Issues: The front shifting isn't great. Between the large and middle ring is OK but getting down into the granny ring is tricky. This is probably an issue with the shifter as everything else has been replaced. Rear shifting is perfect.

I haven't heard back from him; sent him a PM yesterday re viewing on Monday. It's first come first served though so you are more than welcome to take a test ride whenever suits.
