I have the 2006 JTS
I absolutely HATED the color, but i got a deal i couldnt refuse.

It grew on me, now i love the color. For a commuter, you couldmt pick a better color. Im happy with my purchase, and like showing off my bike, why hide it with a mellow color like all other bikes.

Florescent Day Glow Orange bikes just scream 'look at me !' and people do, its great

My hybrid is a triple, my jts is a double. I swapped the cassette to an 11-32 since im old and live on the side of a mtn. Cost was like 40 bucks for the cassette. Pretty cheap change and i go up the hills of Vancouver almost as easy as my triple.
