I've had a Specialized Sequoia and currently own a Allez. I had thought about a Sirrus as a commuter bike. How does it compare to the Vita?

I ride a Tri-Cross, and Epic Marathon (MTB), and next year, will be on a Tarmac Pro road bike. Apparently, I like Specialized
. All are comfortable, and have served me well. The other great thing is the lifetime guarantee on the frames.
Go for the better components.

The guy at the LBS which sells the Vita told me the Vita is the WSD version of the Sirrus.
The other thing to consider is that the LBS that sells TREK is not that good at customer service. The LBS that sells Specialized is great with customer service. In fact, even though years ago I bought my old Trek 730 at the same LBS that currently has the Trek 7.6 FX I test drove, I have ALWAYS taken my old Trek to the LBS that sells the Specialized for service. They are just awesome people to deal with, and I buy all my accessories from there too.
I'm just not that familiar with the Specialized brand, and I know TREK's are good.

Specialized bike are just as good as Trek and Giant, etc but not quite as big and well known. I love Specialized bikes!

Nicole, are you Speshal-ized?

I guess so! I'd love a Tarmac as my next race bike.
