That said, there's no reason I can't start riding it and getting back in shape and continue my N+1 quest for The Bike, right?
Meantime, I'll continue the search, ride my Globe, and carry on!
Deege, you've stumbled into the best of all situations.
The purpose of the your first bike is to help you figure out what you want in your next bike. You're living in a new place with different terraine, a different climate, and a new bike store. Ride the Globe for at least 6 months and just think of it as your first bike.
Have fun shopping for your new n+1.
