Jones in What Mountain Bike

Steve Worland’s test of the steel diamond frame is now out, over in the UK, in the Summer 2011 issue of What Mountain Bike. I can’t reproduce the article here, that wouldn’t be right, but I can suggest you see if you can get hold of a copy (and I’ll ask the publishers about extracts in the future) because it’s well worth reading. “Jeff Jones has effectively reinvented rigid mountain bikes” is clearly the stand-out statement but Steve’s discussion of the bike and how it rides is such that it’s more than an attention grabbing headline (and it’s not used as a headline in the magazine). He suggests one of the Jones frame and fork combinations “should be tried by every enthusiastic mountain biker”.

“This is definitely a bike you need to ride to appreciate.
The harder you ride it the more it will impress”

I’m really pleased Steve likes the bike, and has written such a considered review. Well worth reading.

    For those that use Zinio for digital magazines, the current issue of What Mountain Bike is available. (Just bought it myself and I’m about to read the Jones article.)
