Gear Talk / 2010 Jamis Aurora vs Aurora Elite
« on: March 01, 2010, 10:57:30 pm »
My 2007 Novara Randonee was stolen a few weeks ago 
REI has changed the Randonee to be more like a regular road bike (with gearing) rather than a touring bike so I am looking to purchase either the Jamis Aurora or Aurora Elite. I already plan on swapping the front chain ring for a 26...I don't know if the Elite is worth the extra money. I also considered the Surly LHT however I do not want to have bar end shifters so thus that is out. Any thoughts would be appreciated, I am not enjoying this process...I would rather have my old bike that has thousands of miles on it. Thank you!
