Sketches and ideas about bicycles

2018 What a year!

My last blog post was about two months ago when I was taking a little time off… I planned on returning to write here about that time, but instead I returned to a very busy shop with emails and messages and have not found the time since.
Right after that last post, I went to the Single […]

Taking time off for riding etc.

I’ll be away from October 17th through October 27th. During this time I will not be available for Custom Select bike quotes, test rides or answering phone or email questions.

During this time, we are still taking orders and shipping parts, including H-Bars, grips, frame sets as well as the new complete bikes.

You can still […]

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 […]

Jones in the media

It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything, and a lot’s been happening in that time!  We’ve gotten the new Jones Plus 148 TA frames in steel, ti, and the new 23″ Spaceframe Plus, all of which have been getting built into complete bikes headed out to all corners of the globe (we’ll be […]

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!
