The stout chromoly tubing on Jamis’s Aurora Elite (27 lbs) gave us confidence, even on circuitous descents with full loads; the included rack and fenders ensured full integration (no jury-rigging to fit); and the disc brakes made for much easier stopping than the rim variety. The saddle was comfy out of the box, and the bike looks great, too.
