Thank you.

After a little over a year and a half and 4,500 miles, I still think it's the most comfortable bike I ever owned.

That's a beauty. I'm sure you'll have many smiles with it.

My wife has put 1,200 miles on her Aurora since she got it in April and loves it. I have to ask her to slow down so I can keep pace with her.

Well I may never go on a real tour but comfort is what I was after and I can't belive how good this bike rides. The 25 or so miles I do thrugh the swamp just about everyday is just fine with me, slow and steady, there are groops that do 70 mile rides around here but I like my little Tour De-Swamp. it is 33 miles to Sea Ile City from here that is a nice ride but the ride home for me is more than I want to do. Now if I could get rid of this head cold and get a little warmyth out side I could get a fue more miles in, I just like being on the bike.

I like Nishiki's and have a couple set up for commuting. I also have a couple of older Schwinns.

Here is the bike as it sits in my basement.
Nashbar Touring frame and fork
Cane Creek S-3 headset
Avid Single Digit 7 brakes
Pricepoint's house brand stem
and some generic raceface ergo bars

They discontinued (and canceled my order for) the seat post so my B-17 is sadly still sitting on the shop floor waiting for me to decide on a new post.

Waiting for a bike swap meet in February to see if I can score on some wheels, bar end shifters, or a crank set.

It's surprisingly useful. Bought 3 more for the other bikes in the stable when on sale at Nashbar.

I have added a low-rider rack under the front one you see. So now I have a platform AND a low-rider rack...pretty sweet!
