Outside Magazine

The issue of Outside magazine with my titanium bike in it (see my previous blog post) is on the stands now. You can see their internet version here. It’s a great photo and a fair mention. We’re looking to take orders for the titanium framesets soon. We have steel ready to roll. It’s good […]

Jones in Japan

Here are two pictures and some words from a rider in Japan. He has a Jones… I haven’t corrected his writing much at all. He gets his point across and his English is infinitely better than my Japanese! He likes the bike.

“There was a MTB race in Nagano Prefecture on May 27. The race […]

Steel Spaceframe – Fat (and) or Loaded

These are two pictures I am using to explain a little of what is possible with my bikes, and it makes sense to offer them here, on the blog, for everyone. It’s a steel Spaceframe, with frame bags in the first instance, and a fat front tire in the second. Of course, you can […]

Summer Solstice 2012

It’s an annual thing for me. The longest day, and really quite a sweet one too. I rode up and over the mountain and found a good spot for the night. The night sky was clear and full of stars. I saw a few meteors and many satellites. I found a good level spot up […]

Bicycling elective class at school

There was a bike riding elective at the school so we volunteered to help.
Before each ride we meet to go over the rules of the road and how to be safer out there…

Then there was learning to ride around obstacles in the bike lane…

A bridge over Bear Creek…

Riding past the pear orchards…

We stopped to […]

Magazine Review Bike

Outside magazine asked me for a bike to review a few months ago. This is the bike I sent.

I shipped it with a fat and a 29″ front wheel and a set of fat road tires.

Built with XTR

King rear hub

Jones front hub

They are finished with the bike now and will be sending it back to me soon. I look […]

Steel Spaceframe bike with XTR and two wheel sets

This is Jason’s second Jones bike. This one is for road or dirt. And the first few photos show my bar-wrapping techniques. Might seem a minor point to make next to all the wheel, hub and frame detail shots but all the details make the bike…

Spring Thaw race in Ashland

We loaded up the bus and went to Ashland for the Spring Thaw  kids race and downhill this past weekend. We all had fun.

I ended up pinching my rear tube in rocks near the start which left me with a flat tire by the time I got to the last few turns and final […]

A ride in Spain

It looks like James had a nice ride in Spain.

Here’s his photo set on Flickr.

“The steel Jones is incredible when loaded up, it shouts at rocks to get out of the damn way and when they don’t listen it plows through them anyway. None of the rocks actually did move, so it probably speaks […]

Spaceframe bags are in

They fit both the titanium and steel version. There is a single wide compartment
on the right side and a single thin compartment on the left.
