H-bars and stem length

Update as of 7/18/17: This post is based on an older version of the H-Bar and isn’t useful for fitting the H-Bar anymore.  It’s a great historical reference, but if you’re looking to fit your H-Bar, please refer to our Support page where you can find the H-Bar Manual which will give you information […]

Rohloff equipped Jones

This is the first ‘Rohloff (or Singlespeed) frameset’ from the Merlin built batches. You can see the cable guides under the down tube. Guides are also under the left chainstay.

Actually, you can run a Rohloff hub on any Jones frameset with an eccentric bottom bracket if you don’t mind having zip ties all the […]

Titec H-bar

The Titec bar is the same width and angle as the original titanium h-bar but with some rise (and built out of aluminum). It’s (at time of writing) $95 without grips and wrap and $130 with grips and wrap installed like this.

24 inch sizing

Here are some pictures I took of a frame for someone who was asking me “how big” a 24″ bike could be. In the pictures the seat post is at the max. From the center of the bb, to the top of the seat where the sit pads are is 35.5”. The top stem is 17degx110mm […]

24 inch ETT Singlespeed

A 24″ SS frame set with (Jones modified XTR) cranks. The cranks and decals are installed and I’m just waiting here for a chain ring. Nothing missing, just nothing added. Singlespeed only :-)>

A little gold and some Crud Catcher mounts.

Drop bar build

I finished this build and took it out for a good test ride (every bike is then cleaned and re-tuned completely before being packed up for shipping). The ride went very well. It worked perfectly. I climbed from my shop up the mountain out of the dark and cold under the clouds, up to […]

Standard bottom bracket

Here’s the first geared only VCLS without an EBB. It’s 200grams lighter than the EBB version. If you never want to run your bike singlespeed then this would be a good option.

Twelve speed pavement

The pavement 12 speed bike build. This is a bike that I built up for road. It has 35c tires but at quite high pressure so you get speed and comfort. It’s a fun ride. It’s not the Spaceframe but it has the same fork and geometry so a spaceframe bike would build up […]

Shakedown

I went out to test a customer’s bike… “I had a very good ride yesterday. It was just around freezing and the trail was very slushy and in some places icy. There was even some rain. I rode from the shop up the mountain and out of the clouds. I climbed up past where […]
