Spaceframe Pack
Spaceframe top tube packs are in stock now.
It straps tightly to the frame and is supported by two of the three “top tubes”. It is a good place for things you want quick access to while riding. This version is a little wider than the prototype.
My current and a couple of recents
This is the titanium bike I’m currently riding. It’s one of the framesets I’ve had made for me. I’m trying out the new XTR Trail hydraulic brakes. The front wheel is a Jones 135-F hub paired with the 72mm front rim and Surly’s Big Fat Larry tire. The rear wheel has a 48mm wide […]
Steel Jones in WMTB . . .
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 […]
Spaceframe Geometry
Ok, catching up with myself here and I’ve had the first of the geometry details graphics sorted. There will soon be more to explain some of the thoughts, details and machinations that make my bikes what they are. This one, the titanium spaceframeset has been added to the production framesets page on my website, […]
Steel Jones with Steve Worland

Small Jones
My son’s bike came out great and he can really ride it in a nice natural way. I have learned a lot from watching how the children ride. They have a very relaxed approach – not affected by the types of cycling and riding that is in or out of fashion. They just ride […]
Titanium feature in Privateer
In with all the work I’ve been doing I also spent some time recently talking to Mike Davis from Privateer magazine (a new mountain bike magazine from England) about my bikes and titanium specifically. I’ve seen a draft of the story and it’s good.
I learned a lot from it – as well as talking […]
February?!
Right, this is the first of several blog posts as I attempt to catch up with telling you (the reader) everything that I’ve been up to since I last posted. It’s been too long, and I’ve been very busy. There is a lot going on at Jones Bicycles this year. It is all good, […]
Developments
I’m not long back from Interbike – the big trade show here in the US and a great opportunity to see what’s what with cycling. I had a great time and was able to introduce the new Jones production frame-sets that I have had made for me. I’m now getting the details of what’s […]
