Been looking around for cheapish entry into hybrid biking, really liking the look of a specialised Sirrus 2.0 / Sirrus X. However, no stock anywhere. Is this because demand has outstripped supply or changes in model year etc? Seems pretty much the same across the brands, very frustrating.

I think it's partly that manufactures have had trouble getting the components from China due to lockdown and the fact a lot of people have taken up cycling during the same period.

I want a Canyon but the estimated shipping date is November frown

Production will have stopped/slowed at most manufacturers. Shipping stock/components from abroad will have been affected similarly. And, demand will have increased quite sharply with people wanting to make the most of the UK lockdown.

It’s not surprising really.

One upside is selling 2nd hand bikes.
