I really like it. When I first test road one I felt really cramped. But after I purchased one, it was fine. Maybe mine came with a longer stem or maybe it was just a better job of fitting. I have ridden an SR500 for years and I purchased it because if the shorter top tube. I like a more upright positon. When I compare my Aurora to my Cannondale the difference in geometry (as far as the cockpit goes) is negligible.
