Roger Trans-Canada

Below is an email from Roger McDougal. He contacted me last Fall because he was looking for a bike after he crashed his skinny tire bike and was injured. He found my bikes somehow and so he called me. We talked about the ride he was wanting to do and a bike for it. […]

More pics of my traveling Jones – not all my pics as I lost my
camera and had to pester Ricky to use his. Israel is an amazing
place to ride. Lots of great woodland singletrack (where we
didn’t stop for pictures).
Regards, James

JonesWagen

We got a new van for Jones Bikes! It has low miles and it’s in great shape. It was owned by a volunteer fire department in Germany. The van was imported by a local guy. The lights and siren work but I don’t think the police will take too kindly to me using them – […]

Titanium Spaceframe 2014

This is, currently, as good as it gets. The titanium Spaceframe and Truss fork deliver the rigid bicycle that is anything but. Laterally stiff to deliver the power with a vertical compliance that softens the ride? Yes, but this is only the icing on the cake. The Jones geometry ensures the best handling bike […]

City Stealth

This is a titanium Diamond frame / Truss fork Jones powdercoated black – the Stealth City Bike. The owner, Gideon, wanted it as inconspicuous as we could manage. Not that easy when we’ve a fat front tire and some quite distinctive Jones elements but it’s better than naked Ti and a big decal on […]

Richard. His Jones. Everest.

Dear Jeff

I just wanted to say that I had a wonderful trip on my Jeff Jones across the Himalayas from Tibet to Nepal during September. I hope I’m your first customer to ride one of your bikes to the north face Everest base camp in Tibet. The bike was simply brilliant and I enclose […]

Interbike 2013

Presence, Thoughts and InterJones 2013 . . .

I returned home (quite) a few weeks ago from Interbike, the big North American bicycle industry show held in Las Vegas each year. I went without bikes or bars and just walked the isles bumping into friends and old acquaintances. It’s nice to catch up and talk […]

Jones 660 Bend H-bars

It was in 2002, or thereabouts, that I created the first Jones H-bar after holding two short pieces of tubing in my hands, out in front of me, while sitting on a bike in my shop without handle bars. More sweep seemed natural and right within the natural range of motion for my arms. 45 degrees is half way between a 90 degree […]
