If you only had $1000 for a bike..........

tulip: I am thinking of an Aurora or a Bosa nova. Did you try both? How does the Aurora fit you, and is it ok on gravel?
Thanks

I have a Jamis Coda, and I'm not in the market for a new bike these days. I have not tried the Bossa Nova or the Aurora. The Coda is great on gravel with 700x35 tires. I do miss the drop bars, though.
