Specific issues, often technical, regarding bicycle design
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 […]
New Big Fat Larry tire fits fine
The new Big Fat Larry 4.5″ tire fits with room to spare in the truss and the fat unicrown fork.
Steel Jones in WMTB . . .
Steve Worland’s test of the steel diamond frame is now out, over in the UK, in the Summer 2011 issue of What Mountain Bike. I can’t reproduce the article here, that wouldn’t be right, but I can suggest you see if you can get hold of a copy (and I’ll ask the publishers about […]
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 […]

I learned a lot from it – as well as talking […]
Developments
I’m not long back from Interbike – the big trade show here in the US and a great opportunity to see what’s what with cycling. I had a great time and was able to introduce the new Jones production frame-sets that I have had made for me. I’m now getting the details of what’s […]
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.
small bikes
I promised my kids that when they learned to ride a bike, I would build them One.
Here is Marley’s bike.
Riding to school this spring before I built the Truss fork and removed the gears.
Headwind.
She loves the bike but unfortunately for her she can’t ride it this summer as it’s one of the bikes […]
6 speed run
I just finished a small run of cassettes for a few bikes and rolling chassis shipping out soon.
It’s compatible with Chris King and DT Swiss SS hubs as well as many other “single speed” cassette hubs.
It’s compatible with Shimano (not Shadow) derailleurs with a long low limit “L” screw supplied with the cassette.
This is […]
