    Looking at options here, I have a second race/fitness bike that I haven't used in nearly a year. It is a giant OCR1 in medium with full tiagra. It has only done about 500 miles. It is as bought except for a shorter stem installed. The original is available too. I may throw it the look pedals with it too. It is a triple.
    It is in storage at the moment so no actual pics but this is the model:

    It was about €1000 new and is worth north of €500 now I would say, but am interested in a swop for a commuter in medium. Open to all options but am particularly interested in a sirrus, bad boy or may a dr dew. Medium size required.

    Anyone interested?

    Have been lamenting the fact that I don't have something a bit more race-geometry on my Sirrus these past few mornings. Might be interested in a swap or part-swap as she would be worth a few sheckles less than the OCR1.

    PM me if you're still interested, we can compare fine details and see what's what.

    beans is it the base sirrus? if so not really interested, nice bike though. would be looking at a higher spec one if doing a swop, doesn't seem to be much interest though so may just buy new and sell on the racer.

    Aye, she's the Sora-shod base model, a few years old and well travelled. To be honest, I had a bit of a moment on the way home and decided it would be terrible of me to part with her, especially since there's a racer in the pipeline anyway. Plus, I'm reading 'The Third Policeman' by Flann O'Brien and I feel that she's probably around 35% me at this stage, so I couldn't part.

    Good luck with the sale / upgrade.
