I have never seen an aluminum Coda, I know they did/do a threaded version at one point with Tourney but I have yet to see an aluminum Jamis Coda. They use aluminum parts on it but having worked at a Jamis dealer for 9 years I never saw one and any of the older versions (pre me working there) that have come in have all been steel. The Allegro is the aluminum model and I don't think that has ever changed. There might be some sellers that are mislabeling it but the Coda as far as I know has been steel and is still steel and hopefully will never not be steel (unless they go Titanium which would be fine as well)

It happens our intern swore his aluminum Specialized was steel because it is a DH bike and DH bikes are heavy and people have this assumption that steel must be the heaviest when it is not always the case. The Coda has generally been a great bike!
