Bought this Aurora Elite new in 2008 with intentions of using it for touring. I still haven't gotten around to touring but it was good bike to get back into cycling after quite a few years off the bike. The last couple of years it's mostly been just sitting in the garage collecting dust while I've been riding lighter road bikes. This summer I thought I'd breath some new life into it - and thus started the partial repaint project which I just finished last week. Maybe now I'll be a little more motivated to considering taking it on an actual trip.
