Which bike would be best for me?

Specialized Sirrus Hybrid Bike was almost a road bike--which is what I wanted--but didn't cost nearly as much. I got it and immediately set about swapping out the handlebars. I have had no problems. I ride it everywhere I go, not just for training and, as such, it gets a lot of wear. But everything seems to remain in order. There is nothing great about this bike, but it does its job well enough. If you want a beater bike then this will do... but get rid of the flat handlebars.
