HEy I got the same bike! Only mine has internal gears (8) I adore it!!
When I bought it the shop stressed that I needed to bring it back in after about 100 miles or a month or so so they could tighten the cables, on the brakes too. It is a free service for the life of the bike....
You probably have it too, yes?
enjoy your Globe! Show a photo???

The verdict is in! Ya'll were correct. The bike tech called it "cable slop" and reproduced it for me in the shop so I could see what was happening. A few turns of a screwdriver and it ran perfectly. Oh, we also discovered the derailer hanger was slightly bent which only added to the fun. He was able to straighten it out with the screwdriver. I don't know when the hanger got bent. I always had a tiny bit of chain rub even when it was brand new but it could have been from my overzealous securing on a bike rack for a long trip. Of course now it's fixed and the temperature has bottomed out and I don't have cold weather gear yet. Grrrrrr!
