Must be unicorn season for all these Cirruses to show up. I’v had an eBay search alert for ages for a Cirrus frame. If/When I got hits, it was always a frame that was too small. But this time a 19.5" frame showed up, so I snapped it up. After a short wait, it arrived. The frame is in remarkable condition. Not perfect, but close to. I have seen worse frames. This one doesn't have yellowed clearcoat, nor is is chipped. And the seat tube doesn't have cracks, so that's a bonus.
This is how the frame came in:
Definitely a Cirrus.
The decals are not correct, so I'll have to get a new set.
I pulled parts from my other retro bikes to get an idea how it would look. I was missing a front derailleur and a seatpost that fits. And the steerer from my Pace is a bit too short.
I'm not going to built it up period-correct, I think parts from 1994-1997 work better and are still retro enough for me. So maybe the wheels need to go, but OTOH they look kinda good on the bike.
