Considering this all blue Specialized Sirrus? What do you think of the color? Blue was not my first choice

ColdCase

My spouse had to have a blue bike. Spent weeks finding the right one

I think that is a great looking bike.

fietsbob

It comes from a factory and that is the color for that model, this year . its just graphics it does not matter.

Needs blue tires.

Looks good to me. Contrary to what some try to tell you, the appearance does matter to many people, and there is ZERO wrong with that. If you like black/grey, then buy black/grey. If you like color, then INSIST on color. If a brand doesn't offer what you like, then move on to the next brand. It's your money, and if they want a share of it, then it is their job to offer you what you want. You would not buy an ugly new sofa, ugly new car, or ugly TV, so why the hell would you buy an ugly (to you) bike.

BTW, that same bike comes in Red as well. Move up a level and Cyan Blue and a Grey bike are also possible. I forget what the color options are if you move down a level.

FWIW, I have just bought this Ti bike.

Already have dark blue tires, cables, handlebar tape, and a saddle with blue on order. May eventually add blue pedals if I can find some good pedals of nearly the same shade blue.

Looks very similar to my bike. That color blue wouldn't have been my first choice, either, but I couldn't pass up the great price I got on it. Over time, though, the color has grown on me. I actually like it now.

very cool looking bike. You can jazz it up by replacing the mandatory plastic spoke reflectors with blue spoke reflectors https://www.amazon.com/Cycling-Bicycl...oke+reflectors

I have a 2015 Giant roam 2, and I had a choice of a blue one much the same color as the Sirrus, or I could get a charcoal/green. I chose the latter. The blue, to me, was just way too flashy. While I prefer flashy cars, not so much for bikes. Why? I'm not sure. Just don't.

Ideally, I would have loved to have gotten the '15 Roam 1 with the charcoal and red scheme. Those two colors together look absolutely awesome on a bike, to me.

The more I think about it, it cold be that a flashy or "loud" colored bike seems more like the color of a child's bike to me ...maybe.

My Sirrus is a metallic dark green, got a good deal on it, learned to luv the bike.
In fact, I get a lot of compliments on it. Its a color that you don't see very often.
Anyway, I like the BLUE too, really like the reflective stripe tires on it.

I have the 2015 Blue Roam 2 -- I liked the 2014 color better, it was a blue-grey with orange accents, but there were too many improvements for me to ignore -- plus the bike sold so well there were no discounts even though the '15 was already out. Color is very similar, I like it as much or more now than I did last year. Black bikes look nice they're just not unique, so up to you which is more important. Good luck!

I love this color on the Sirrus!

Grey.

I'm not sure why people are offering suggestions on how to make the bike even more blue when the OP said that blue was "not his first choice".

LesterOfPuppets

Well, it is a bit of a tease to read "All blue bike", then click through to see a bike that's really only blue in the frame department.

usedbutnotup

so its the color, not the bike?

ColonelSanders

I can't agree with you that the blue of the 2015 Giant Roam 2 is close to the blue of this Sirrus.

The Giant Roam 2's blue was much more glaring and I perfectly understand why you got the charcoal/green, as I would have done the same thing in your position there.

ColonelSanders

I think it looks great.

For me it is not as simple as "oh the bike is blue, therefore it is great", but rather I like the hue and shades of blue that Specialized has used on that Sirrus.

I actually like this blue color to the Sirrus. It's a good looking bike. I have a flat black bike, and honestly it is getting kind of............dark to look at.........Have been wishing it was a full red color. Which Sirrus comes in.

Hmmmm.....I wonder if I should consider selling my bike and get a red Sirrus.

Blue isn't my favorite color for a bicycle, either but my two newest bikes are both blue....go figure.

When I got my Karate Monkey I was planning on putting Maxxis Torch tires on it. Those tires have "MAXXIS" in large yellow letters printed on them so I started thinking......yellow pedals.....yellow grips......yellow cabling.....yellow saddle......etc.... Then I remembered that I dislike "loud" color combinations and I realized that I was actually trying to satisfy an unfulfilled childhood dream (remember those blue BMX bikes with yellow mag wheels and accents....yeah...that's the one.). My real preference is a white bike with black components or a black bike with silver components but my blue KM looks okay with black components and silver wheels. My blue Handsome Devil only looked good with silver components. The blue had the wrong tone to look good with black.



Edit: Here's that unfulfilled childhood fantasy...pretty garish by my current standards. I ended up with a chromeplated bike with black mag wheels and that is much more inline with my current preferences. That was also my only childhood bike that didn't get stolen.

Blue wall tires would be better.

Color treads would become dirty and black after being ridden for a while.
