Unexpected New Addition

[kmehrzad]

I was perusing Craigslist today (it's dangerous for me to do so), and came across a vintage Specialized Sirrus (cromoly frame) that was very reasonably priced -- and the rest is history.

Here's my newest acquisition. I'll soon sell my vintage Fuji Palisade (12 speed, downtube shifters) to make room for the Sirrus.

Cool! Congratulations on your new find

Very very cool! Also, as a side note, I love how there are little baby bluebonnets at the bottom of the post the bike is leaning on. Not enough rain here for those this year!

No bluebonnets in Virginia. Those are muscari, otherwise known as grape hyacinth (originally from Armenia).

Nice bike, K!!

Oh, what did the poor fuji do to get kicked out of the stable?

Thanks everyone. The bike, being a triple, has tons of gears and shifts like a dream (bar end shifters). The previous owner replaced the chain rings to get a higher range of gears for the rolling hills of Montgomery County, MD. His wife hardly ever used the bike, so it's seen very little road time.

The Fuji is a 12 speed with shifters on the downtube making it a little difficult to use with the arthritis I have developing in my thumbs. Sorry my beautiful robin egg blue Fuji but it's time to move on to a new owner.
