I even rode three Sirrus models, but only this one seemed "just right." Only "upgrade" was to swap out for bar-ends.

Took a short maiden voyage downtown. The shot you see below is on a bridge that crosses the Truckee River.

The bike is a blast and I finally feel like I'm really back in the saddle again. I'm keeping Mrs. Jones (the Masi) because she's my one true love, but this little sweetheart will be a perfect transition bike back into cycling. The Globe is on Craigslist.
