    Hi Elk, did you lose your love affair with the Aurora?

    I bought a Globe. I've been thinking of you as I pedal the miles away.

    I remember how happy Elk was when she got that and that kind of piqued my interest in the Aurora.

    Gosh no....I still LOVE that bike...more in fact than ever!! I realize how much work I've put into her...the leather, the new bars, the just right acorn bag....the bike fit.....

    and how super she looks! I was about to take her out and clean and lube the chain,pump up the tires and ride....but it got dark....

    So what else should I do to get ready to ride?

    I really like it. I'm still tweaking her. It has a Shimano IG8 Nexus hub.

    I think the valkyrie is a stunning bike. I would love to get a hold of one. I'm not really sold on the fork but it is almost everything i am looking for in a bike, not that I am looking.
    Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

    What I want to know about the Valkyrie:

    does it have long reach brakes to accommodate wide-ish tires and fenders?

    and

    does it have eyelets for rack mounting?
