Thanks, everyone, for the replies you've given.

I decided to go with the Aurora. I bought it last night.

I had the shop swap out the stock tires with `32mm slicks. I also had the shop change the rear cassette to an 11-34. I figured this would give me a little bit lower gearing.

Otherwise, I still need racks/fenders/computer/lights/peddals, but all that stuff is less important than having the bike to ride.

Thanks again.
