Specialized makes the Sirrus. It is not that expensive if you can find
one. They are priced starting around where their entry level road bikes
are priced. I imagine they have other bikes that have flat handlebars
and are in that general style. The Sirrus is the only one I have ridden
and was a vacation rental.

I wonder if Specialized bought like a gazillion frame decals back in the
1980's and they are trying to use them up by recycling product names
even when the newer product is in a totally different category.

I have a Specialized Sirrus road bike. Lugged cro-mo frame, non-compact,
quill headset, all the things I like in a road bike--now the Sirrus is a
hybrid. I have a Specialized Expedition touring bike--now the Expedition
is back as a hybrid.
