    Finally: some recently (and not so recently) completed builds!

Finally: some recently (and not so recently) completed builds!

Over the years we’ve posted photos of some of the recent bikes we’ve built for customers, but lately, we’ve been busy with other things and all of the bike builds that have been happening just haven’t ended up on the blog.  Hopefully late really is better than never, because what follows is a sampling of […]

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 […]

A new batch of Jones Steel Jones Plus LWB framesets is on the way, and with it, a new color!

We’ve recently started running out of some of the Jones Plus LWB framesets again, so we’re very happy to announce that we have a new batch on the way!  This means a couple of things: we will have the medium size back in stock—in both black and the new red (Pantone 7621)— and with it, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Jones Plus Road: Notes from outside

Since I started riding the Jones Plus, it’s become the only bike I ride for pretty much everything; but that didn’t happen overnight.  At first, I thought of it as a mountain bike that was also good for gravel roads, but which probably wouldn’t be what I would choose for rides that involved more […]

Jones Build and Talk Video

We’ve just released a new Jones Bikes video!   The third in a series of videos that were made from a week of riding and interviews filmed last fall, this installment follows Jeff as he builds a complete Jones Plus bicycle and talks about how his history with bikes led him to his unique […]

New Jones Bikes Video

We’ve been thinking about making a new video for some months now, so when a local drone videographer approached us about collaborating on one, we decided it was finally time.  Now that the filming and editing are done, we can say that we’re really happy with the result, and we hope you’ll like it […]

A preview of the new Jones video

We’ll be releasing our new video on Monday, November 23rd!  Check it out!

Introductions and a ride on the Plus….

First, for introductions: my name is Brendon, and since I started working at Jones Bikes, I’ve been wearing many hats, so there’s a good chance that if you’ve ordered anything from us in the last months, I’ve had some role in it.  Mostly I build bikes and wheels, and work on the website; but […]
