Jamis Aurora!?!?

[elk]

It looks EXACTLY like that loaded for touring one...

I said: it isn't exactly ugly meaning: it isn't ugly...

I agree the copper/cream is a great combo...I just like the proportion of color better on the bigger bike.. (what can I say...I am nourished by sight...) and given my druthers I alwas go for solids...

BUT!!! I'm not a total fool....and it makes SO much sense doesn't it!?

The I'll have my beloved hybrid AND a road bike for about the same price as a Salsa or even a "custom" LHT (NO ONE has them...but they could build one for me...) and way LESS than a used Riv.

HEY!! I could buy another Ibex switch back!! (I bought the persimmon one on sale and I haven't taken it OFF since I got it...and I don't even LIKE the color!!!)

It did feel very comfortable...and who knows...a year or two from now my needs may be sharpened and shifted...

Lisa you said EXACTLY what I wanted to hear...
Zen... go get one...
