this bike looks to be a carbon copy of the jamis aurora, which sells for U.S.$400 less.

unless you need the s&s couplers, i 'd probably pass on this one. very mediocre, in spite of the advertising copy. for the extra u.s.$1,100 that the travel version costs, you could get the jamis, get and have someone weld on the couplers, re-do the paint, buy your own hardcase, and still have enough money left for a round-trip international flight.
