Photoshoot of the 1988 Specialized Sirrus
Making this a separate post for those looking for detailed shot of one of these in the future. Not the best of lighting by the time I got it ready but they should do the job.

22 lbs 12 ozs without the pedals. Could probably shave a pound off easily swapping on light wheels, tires, and a 7 speed cassette.

The most damage is on this chainstay. If it was a keeper I'd take days filling those in and blending. Touch up paint is fairly close so I got the mix ok. Hard to notice with the naked eye.
