Turning to the Dark Side

Sirrus Sport DIsc, originally uploaded by Geoff Johnson.
I’ve been the proud owner of a Specialized Sirrus Sport flat bar road bike for the best part of a year now. Its my friend and we’ve spent many a wet and miserable winter day cycling around Stanley, Caputh and Dunkeld.
Now that summer is finally arriving (honest!) I’ve decided to try something new. I was thinking long and hard about buying a cross bike. I like the idea of the low gearing and higher bottom bracket of a cross compared to a ‘proper’ roadie. I thought about buying a Jake the Snake but then a Spesh TriCross, but couldn’t justify the cost or garage space for another bike. So the Sirrus is currently at Richards in Perth having drop bars and shifters fitted. The only question now, is whether to go for the full lycra effect or stick with the baggies!
