This is an excellent bike for commuting and running errands. It's great because there's nothing at all weird about it. It's just a normal bike, with durable, normal components, in normal sizes. You won't have trouble finding a seat post, or new grips, or pedals. No bike shop will ever refuse to work on it because it's weird or low end.

The bottom bracket is a square taper. All those micro shift components use the Shimano 7 speed SIS pull ratio that has existed since the 80s. Shifter breaks? No problem, any Shimano SIS road 7, 8, 9 speed shifter can replace it. Community bike co-op bins are full of them for $5. Same deal with the derailleur. Shimano made millions of rear derailleurs that can replace that one and be compatible with that shifter.

The handlebars are 31.8mm, the seat post is 27.2mm, the fork steerer is 1 1/8th". These are all the most common dimensions. Need a set back seat post? $5 at a co-op. Want a higher ride stem or swept back handlebars? $5. Someone steals your wheel? Co-op, $20. Riding in the rain? This has mounts for fenders. Want a basket to carry stuff? There are mounts for racks, front and rear.

These are the sorts of deals I love seeing on Slickdeals. This is a bike that will last a lifetime because it's easily, and cheaply, repairable should anything go wrong.

Looks like $100 difference ($350 vs $250). I'd buy the Specialized because if I had to sell it, I'd probably make that $100 back on resale value and it'll be sold alot faster. If this is gonna be a grocery getter, the Mendham might be fine as it'll probably never be stolen (no one knows/wants a Mendham).

$187 shipped vs $350 + shipping. Specialized is a better-known brand, for sure, but hopefully nobody is buying either of these bikes thinking they're going to get their money back out of it down the road.
Is the Metro $40 better than the Univega escape 2.0 for $144 from the recent deal with Meghan.

Looks like a decent bike, but for those who don't like doing maintenance, at least me. I have gotten to the age where paying more at a local bike shop that will do annually tunes for free has a lot of value. Adult bikes last a long time.

I wouldn't recommend the Metro for any kind of mountain biking. You may want to take a look at the Able RBL Sport or Univega RM29 either of which should be $280ish with coupon code KEVCENTRAL. Two other good entry-level options would be the Ozark Trail Ridge or Kent Trouvaille.

Use Promo Code "TWENTYUSA" for 20% off, bring price down to $228

There is nothing to compare. If Medham is like Mitsubishi, Specialized is like BMW. It sponsors and bikes are used in Tour de France teams.
If you have the money, but the Sirrus. These bikes were sold for a grant during the COVID-19 days.

The Medham specs leave a lot to be desired. It doesn't list the size of the seat post, the stem, the bottom bracket, or the handlebar diameter. With the Specialized, you're getting standard parts.

Got it, thanks. I already ordered the Medham, so I'll probably just stick with that, but I'm also looking into getting a bike for my 9 year old. It probably doesn't make sense to get him an expensive bike like this since he'll grow out of his size within a coupl eyears

Small- if you are 5'9 or less - this is a great bike
Can you elaborate? It seems like the size chart shows you should get a medium

If you are looking for XXS in blue, you can buy from ebay and save on shipping

Yeah, I have an older version of the sirrus but I'm sure the frame sizes have stayed the same. I'm ~5'10" and the M fits me great. I could probably ride a L too, but the common wisdom is that it's easier to make a small bike bigger than a big bike smaller.
