R.I.P. Jamis Aurora

Jamis Aurora recently entered the home of bikes beyond their time. He has been superseded by Jamis Coda. He was born in 2008, living the first part of his life in California. During his lifespan, he has traveled thousands of miles. Strava puts the count at almost 15,000 miles. However, it is missing most of his early life. Actual mileage is probably in the 30,000 - 40,000 mile range. He has added a kickstand and fenders that have lasted his entire life. In his youth, his front wheel was replaced with a dynamo wheel to power some lights that have endured the remainder of his life. His back wheel, however, has gone through multiple iterations, with the current one nearing expiration due to weight and brakes. Tubes and tires have been replaced multiple times. The drive train has also been replaced multiple times. The cranks and bottom bracket recently were all replaced due to a fracture of one crank arm. The seat has been hanging in there despite broken rails. One water bottle cage has passed away. The rack is broken and now tied to another rack. Handlebar tape and plugs have been replaced. Even the frame has a crack (that appears to be related to weld stress.) Brake pads have been replaced multiple times. New cables have also been run. Pedals have been replaced with mismatches. Very little remains in working order from the original: the handlebar, stem, shifters, brakes and derailer. Mr. Aurora had lived a great life on the west coast, climbing many hills and enduring countless headwinds, all while hauling plenty of gear. He had endured numerous attachments and panniers. He would probably have gone through another round of internal replacements had his frame not shown the cracks.
He had superseded Specialized Globe, who was stolen. He was preceded in death by a sister, Schwinn Ten Speed, an uncle Trek, and grandfather Giant and stolen sister Breezer Villager. He is survived by an older brother, Breezer Zag-8, cousins Bakfiets, Bike Friday Triple, Mangoose, Trek, Novara, Specialized, Like-a-bike and Isla.
