Brief descriptions of Jones bikes that have gone to customers

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 […]

Magazine Review Bike

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

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…

DIY

Gregg purchased a steel Spaceframe and Truss fork with a headset, seat post and I built him a fat front wheel. He built up the rest himself.

He just ordered the aluminum Loop bar and sent me this picture.

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 […]

steel proto

This is a bike I built in the Fall and have been riding this Summer. The frame fork and bar are 4130 chromoly.

More to come.
