Industry Description:
If you want to experience the cyclist’s version of backpacking, you’ll want an Aurora, arguably the last of the true loaded touring bikes. Our Auroras use legendary Reynolds chromoly steel, with air-hardened 631 in the Aurora Elite and double-butted 520 in the Aurora, both with our SST frame design, so every size rides like it was custom-built. Aluminum might be lighter, but that half-pound you’d save is nothing on a big tour, and steel’s smoothness won’t leave you fatigued the way you’d be after 100 miles of aluminum road buzz. Strong wheels with big, load-friendly tires, wide-range gearing — thanks to the smartly spec’ed long cage ATB rear derailleur and cassette — and powerful cantilever brakes help get the job done when the task at hand is carrying everything you need and rolling through a lot of daily mileage. Load an Aurora up and you’re ready to hit the road for weeks on end. Or ride one as is: it’s perfect for long-distance commutes or casual weekend group rides.
I’ve included links (eBay Affiliate and Others) to help you find the right parts for this frame, whether you’re replacing existing components (OEM) or building a custom bike from scratch.

A little about the seller: I’ve been in the cycling industry for more than 30 years (I know, that makes me old!). I’ve been a professional bicycle mechanic for most of those years, including working locally at Lee’s Cyclery before they became Trek Stores. Now I work from home as a Customer Success Manager for a software team. But I still love fixing up and working on bikes, and riding them too! Purchase from me with peace of mind. Not only can you trust my years of experience, but I will also fit you for the bike and provide any mechanical insight at the time of purchase. No warranties or refunds are provided. The bikes are sold as-is. But It includes follow-up minor adjustments and fitting if needed within the first 30 days if sold locally.
Shipping information: I ship UPS Ground, and the bike is disassembled. It will be packed very well, but if you see any damage to the box or bike, keep the box and packing material, plus take pictures. I do insure all bikes that are shipped and require a signature. In addition, if shipped out of Colorado, there is no Sales Tax. Colorado customers, try to buy Local. Info below:
