you can always certainly switch the handlebars out if and when you tire of the straight bars. That's easy.

So get what your'e comfortable on. Before i bought the aurora, I almost had them fit the Coda out as a road bike with drop bars....but then an Aurora showed up.

i LOVE my Jamis bike and I dn't think i've ever met anyone who's ridden one 'who hasn't been surprised at the quality, esp for the price.

Just a little rah rah for the Coda...which is a sweet bike. And one you could hang on to for awhile.

Where's Zen? She'll tell you about the Trek FX....
