2011 Globe Daily 3, 2, 1
Globe has put a lot of time and effort in its 2011 lineup, with one of the standout series being the Daily.
The 2011 Globe Daily bike is designed for daily commuting and comes in 3 models, (03, 02, and 01). Of the three models, a men’s bike and women’s bike (step through) is available.
All three of the Globe 2011 Daily city bikes are similar. For example, each use an alloy frame but have unique features that make them different.
Globe’s 2011 Daily 3 uses a low maintenance Shimano 7 speed internal hub, custom alloy crankset and brakes/levers, which adds for a retro feel, custom built in rear rack and chain guard.
The 2011 Globe Daily 2 has a 8 speed Shimano drivetrain, same custom crankset, brakes/levers, custom fenders and rear rack.
Last is the 2011 Daily 1, which is truly a city bike with its singlespeed drivetrain, custom front basket that can fit a small laptop or dog, custom chain guard plus fenders.
Overall, the 2011 Globe Daily series was designed as a stable and reliable commuter bike but at a affordable price (starting at $450).

Daily 1 looks cool-nice and simple. The Daily 2 and 3 look boring and the external gear systems really add to the boredom!!!
Your descriptions of the models are correct, but some of your photos are misslabled. Blue and Rootbeer (orange) are Daily 2, Pale Blue is Daily 1. The Daily 3 is not pictured. All Daily models come in S, M & L (maybe XL too?).
I recently saw the rootbeer Daily 2 in a local bike store and realy like the bike. and the color. I dont know the weight. but it felt light. several pounds lighter than my trek soho 8 speed internal. my first internal. not crazy about internals any more.but love the drum brakes. glad to see reg gears on the Daily 2. would like to see Disk or drum brakes and a chain guard.even as an option. if somone dosnt mind greasy and torn pants they can take it off
