Jamis Bosanova Urban Do All Bicycle This is the next level of city bicycle that does everything:
Road bikes are too light duty. Mountain and city bikes are too heavy duty. Welcome to the Just Right world of Aurora Elite, Aurora and Bosanova: the road bikes for smart urban speedsters and cyclo-tourists.
Legendary Reynolds steel is our chassis material of choice, for its unbeatably robust performance and the resilient ride damping you’ll appreciate while loaded up and tackling city streets or rural back roads.
The Aurora Elite and Aurora are equipped straight from the crate for the big tour with color-matched carriers and fenders and a drivetrain that includes bar-end shifters, triple-chainrings and big-tooth cassettes for a huge gear range every serious world cycle-traveler can appreciate. The Bosanova offers a faster handling, shorter-wheelbase geo than the Auroras — perfect for serious commuting and weekend touring — and is smartly spec’d with disc brakes, for all-weather/all-year capability

Picked my 61cm Bosanova up last week, I am impressed with the over all performance, in fact the only negative ting I can say about the bike is the Mudguards(fenders) rattle like hell, I’ve a feeling I shall be replacing them, but apart from that it’s reliable, keeps up the pace when you want it to, and comfortable(even with the stock saddle!) glad I invested in this bike, it’s a lot of bike for the money =)
