If the carbon one comes out this season ya. Otherwise it will be the new alloy frame. I believe they will be releasing the alloy version of the carbon frame even if the carbon isn't released.[/

Who told you that?

Correct. The alloy version will be out soon, then you can expect the carbon 650b Aurum around summer.

That's beautiful. Not often you can get an elka to look good with a frame (though they always work great)

Nice build up!
I have a question and hope you can help me. I'm a new owner of an Aurum 6.2 frame. Which spring rate should I take for the CCDB Coil? I'm about 145lbs in full outfit. The spring calculator says between 300 and 350.
And is the SAG about 26% (20mm) which is suggested on the cane creek homepage useful? Thanks a lot in advance!

300 to 350 sounds about right. I'm about 180lbs and I have a 350 on my Aurum, which rides quite soft/deep in the travel, its a vivid coil though but I don't think that would make much of a difference. comes down to a bit of preference but i think either a 300 or 350 would probably be fine, basically comes down to how stiff you want it.

Cane Creek spring calculator is pretty accurate.

Do you really find it so? According to CC spring calc I should be running 350lbs, and I did have a 350 and it was way too soft, at least for my taste. I'm running 450 right now, which is a bit too stiff, so I might be changing 400lbs which should be perfect.

keep in mind that steel springs are not very accurate being +-25lbs when sold in 50lb increments, and I have found that to be the case myself, testing a steel spring that was supposed to be 300 at 280, The cane creek calculator is pretty accurate.
