Kona Sutra?

[KnottedYet]

I have the Kona Dew, which is the same geometry as the Sutra, but in aluminum. (and with very different components)

I am so happy with the geometry, I can't even tell you! And even though the Dew is a "bottom" of the line bike, I really can't complain. Kona is decent stuff.

I would think the Jamis Aurora would be more similar to the Kona Sutra. Both are more in the loaded-tourer side of the equation. Take a peek at the Burley Vagabond while you're at it. (another loaded-tourer geometry/build)

All that being said, my next bike is (at the moment, subject to change without notice) going to be a Soma DoubleCross custom build. I'm too picky, and while I love (love love) the Dew/Jake/Sutra geometry, if I'm gonna blow the big (for me) bucks, I'm gonna choose everything.

Edit: PS, neither of the bikes I mentioned have disc brakes. If you love disc, you should check to be sure you can fit them to whatever frame you end up choosing.
