So I bought the Specialized Sirrus Pro 2012 this morning with large frame and immediately took it out for a couple of hours through the Prater and Donauinsel. Really pleased

Got it second hand three months old (practically unridden) for a great price.

Very nice!!! And don't worry...no lycra is needed....until you buy the race bike

Now what's your budget!?

Who's bloody middle-aged Mike? I'm a young, vigorous man in the prime of life!

Hey there,

I'm interested in buying a hybrid, and I'd like to pick one up used if possible. Helpful hints on where to look? The only references I saw here are a few years old.

Thanks!

I would try Wilhaben.at , that is where I found my bike.

Here is a Specialised Sirrus hybrid:
