I'm no expert, but doesn't Specialized put drop bars on the Sirrus and calls it the Allez Sport (or vice versa, they put a flat bar on the Allez sport and call it a Sirrus). They are both double butted compact geo. AL frames in Specialized A1 family. I'd have to reference the Geometry charts but it wouldn't shock me to see that they're identical.

I don't know how the Sirrus is equipped now, but I had an '02 or '03 model, and even if I had put drop bars on it, it'd still have been a relatively heavy road bike with mostly MTB components. It was a good bike for getting me started back into riding after an 8-year layoff, but once I got back into decent shape, it was time for a real road bike.

Agreed with 633. I just bought a Specialized Sequoia, and the Sirrus weighed a ton more, and was much less comfortable to ride. I hated it with straight bars, I'd hate it with drop bars.

I guess that'd fall under "gripes."
