    Jones Plus SWB as a Touring Bike – Review in Adventure Cyclist Magazine

Jones Plus SWB as a Touring Bike – Review in Adventure Cyclist Magazine

A Jones bike is good for many types of riding including light and loaded touring.

Back in 2013, I sent one of my bikes to Adventure Cyclist Magazine to show that my bike with bigger, more efficient wheels, along with a more upright position, with a handle bar that offers many good hand and body positions […]

New Jones Bicycle

The desire to make the best bike has tended to mean that the construction methods, materials, and many other small details end up adding up to a more expensive package, which, while hitting its mark of giving a great riding bike, still kept some riders who wanted and would benefit from a Jones from […]

The return of the Jones Unicrown fork

Jeff designed his iconic Truss forks to make the best use of the traits of titanium (the original material in which he made them) in order to deliver the maximum stiffness and strength with the least weight, all while maining a forgiving ride.   They deliver an impressive ride quality that manages to balance precise […]

What happened to the Jones 29?

One of the more common question questions we get is whether we are discontinuing the Jones 29 framesets.

The answer is no.

Jeff has updated his original short wheelbase bike, and with that update has come a name change, but the changes to the geometry are very minimal.  With an aim to clarify the changes to […]

The new H-Bar Pack is here!

This new H-Bar Pack is welded, not sewn, and […]

    It’s happening. The Jones Titanium Spaceframe Plus LWB is coming!

It’s happening. The Jones Titanium Spaceframe Plus LWB is coming!

The search for the best ride has been Jeff’s guiding principle since he first started building bikes back in the early 2000’s.

Jeff’s iconic titanium 3D Spaceframes and Truss forks were some of his first designs, which started with 26″ wheels (see an early interview and photo here), and the basic design has remained largely […]

Builds that just left the stand

As usual, more builds means less time to talk about them, but there have been a lot of great builds happening lately!  We’ve also been wanting to make purchasing a complete bike easier, and because we have a few builds that Jeff recommends most of the time because he knows that they work really […]

Aquaholic gets a new Jones!

Steve was one of Jeff’s early customers, and he recently bought a titanium Jones Plus 148 rolling chassis.  He sent us some photos of his rides on the new bike, and seeing them made Jeff remember the fairly encyclopedic MTBR thread that Steve kept up about his first Jones experience.  If you’re not familiar with […]

New Spaceframe Video

In answering questions from riders who are interested in understanding what our bikes are about, we get a lot of questions about the Spaceframe design.  Many assume that Jeff wanted to make a bike that would stand out by looking different (which, it’s true, the Jones Spaceframe design does).  But that wasn’t the goal […]
