One of the guys at the local dealer knew that what I really wanted was a Verve 3 when I got my 2 a few months ago. So last week a few 3's somehow found their way into their inventory, so he texted me as soon as he got a matte black 15-incher into the shop, so I asked him to set it aside for me to pick it up the next day. Jackass coworker of his who didn't bother to ask sold it off to another customer; I got pissed; ended up picking up another 15" in glossy black-blue from the branch nearer to my home.
Different gearing (11-32 as opposed to the Verve 2's 14-34); different saddle, and slightly different handlebars mean I'm still making adjustments - and adjusting myself - to get as comfortable as I was on the 2, which I have up for sale along with the Shift 2 - albeit with some reluctance.
