Last year I picked up a 2012 from Facebook Marketplace and it's been a great cruiser for me when I ride with my kids. On my roadie I kept riding the brakes but the Sirrus has been cool. This past month I tried clipless pedals for the first time and spent a few days practicing on the Sirrus before putting them on my roadie and I realized that the hybrid can go a lot faster than I had previously taken it. I now trade off between the two bikes depending on my mood.

I switched out the grips to Ergon GP3, switched out the saddle to a Prologo, and went with 700x28 slicks. I was thinking of changing out the groupset to a lighter set to shave some weight as I have to lift it over my head to load it into my truck, but not sure if it's worth the expense on a base model aluminum frame and steel fork. The thing weighs 26 pounds and I was wondering what everyone else's bikes weigh.
