Cool bike. I took a nice long test ride on one and really dug it. Not so happy about the STI shifters, but they were liveable and I suspect they would begin to grow on me (first time using brifters). Also was a little short in the granny gear dept for my taste, but that would be an easy fix. Mostly I`m not going to get it because I want 26in. to take advantage of the growing wheel and tire warehouse in my shed and for compatibility with my other bikes and my wife`s bike. If I had a shed full of 700 wheels and tires, it would be a different story. Hope you like your Aurora.
