You did FABULOUSLY!
I forgot that yours is a smallish frame so yes a rear rack will keep your saddle bag off your wheel (not usually an issue with a big men's bike).
Good deal on the fenders and the B68, girl!! You did a great job researching and test riding and keeping your mind open to many things in searching for your bike. And in the end, it was YOU who actually went back and asked to try the Jamis in another size that they hadn't even recommended. Most excellent job. Goes to show we can look at all the geometry charts we want but we never really know for sure until we test ride.

Don't forget a heavy duty lock for that new beauty of yours. Others will covet it. (and watch out for Sandra lurking about your neighborhood behind the bushes in her black ninja outfit...she may try to claim that bolt cutter in her hands is just a "hedge trimmer")

I want to see some pictures of the happy YOU WITH your new Aurora!
