I am a relative new comer to buying bikes but I've cycled within London for several years now on my knackered 17 yr old old Diamond Back, until it was pilfered from outside my office by some cheeky chap (good luck to them, it was a health hazard).
I was wondering if anyone has a Specialized Sirrus Sport 2009 Road Bike, and if so if they had riden somewhat slightly "off road" with it. Was looking at the other bikes in the Sirrus 2009 range too, this one jumped out at me.
Was thinking more towpath than mountain trail, my ride will take me through a park, bit of road then largely the canal (Regent's Canal if anyone is particularly interested) I am looking for a "Hybrid" bike that leans towards the zippy end rather than the MTB end of hybrid. However, slightly concerned that it's designed for the road not the bumpy concrete slabs of a towpath.
Was thinking of test riding one on the weekend but thought I'd post to canvas some more experienced views before I waste the time of the nice men in the shop.
Cheers!
