Hey BG...sounds like a great bike! I went ahead and ordered the Jamis Satellite Sport, men's model, 56cm. I decided NOT to compromise and get the Ventura, just because they had it in stock. It isn't steel, which I really wanted, and only has two "big rings"...not sure what that's called, but I know the Satellite has a triple. I have been known to go WAY DOWN LOW in the gears when climbing hills, so the two big rings kinda concerned me.

They also said I could upgrade the Sora derailleur, too, eventually, when I want to. And of course, that saddle it comes with has GOT to go! I'm thinking that a Brooks is going to be the way to go.

Thanks for all your help and advice, everyone!
