I don't want to rain on your Aurora parade but why don't you treat this as an opportunity to see what else is out there! Keep the Jamis in mind and test ride a lot of bikes. What if you find another bike, for example, made of a different material and you would like to have that kind of diversity in your stable?

If, it turns out that no other bike speaks to you (or the one you fall for is in your price range), then you can always go back to your trusty choice of the Aurora.

Who knows, you could discover a great find!

Good luck!
