Sketches and ideas about bicycles
Spaceframe Geometry
Ok, catching up with myself here and I’ve had the first of the geometry details graphics sorted. There will soon be more to explain some of the thoughts, details and machinations that make my bikes what they are. This one, the titanium spaceframeset has been added to the production framesets page on my website, […]
Steel Jones with Steve Worland
Biff has been in touch, from the UK, to say that the steel diamond framed Jones bicycle (it featured in an earlier blog post) is now with Steve Worland for a What Mountain Bike Magazine test. Steve is a much respected cyclist and experienced journalist so it will be interesting to hear what he […]
February?!
Right, this is the first of several blog posts as I attempt to catch up with telling you (the reader) everything that I’ve been up to since I last posted. It’s been too long, and I’ve been very busy. There is a lot going on at Jones Bicycles this year. It is all good, […]
A ride on new steel
I’ve been riding with the new steel frame and forks.
The snow will be here soon.
On this ride I kept everything in the bags and off my back. There is another water bottle in there too.
I’ve been choosing the fat wheel over the 29″ most of the time.
NYC MAD trip
We went to the exhibit opening in NY at The Museum of Arts and Design and had a great time. I was thrilled to meet the other builders and some of the people that helped make the exhibit happen.
Bespoke: The Handbuilt Bicycle
May 31- Aug 15, 2010
Here is a portion of the video playing at […]
steel frame set
It’s the same color as this one.
Another little movie
Here’s another clip from my video experiments. I still can’t get the sound to transfer so you’ll have to imagine (for now) the wind noise, occasional tire/trail fx and me muttering something or other at the end.
Next up might well be a rear facing camera looking at a six-speed set-up in action. For now […]
Busy – nothing to announce (yet)
Sorry, realize I haven’t blog’ed for a while but I’ve been busy. A few steel and titanium bikes have been built, prepped and shipped to customers and I’m doing a lot of new stuff too. Several plans are coming together pretty well and the future’s bright. It’s very much wait and see though – […]
4130 cromo steel Truss fork
When I built my first Spaceframe in 2003 I used 4130 cromo.
I’ve been asked many times about the possibility of a steel Truss fork and Spaceframe and I’ve been wanting to build a set for a while.
The fork went together well.
It’s heavier than the titanium Truss but it’s lighter than the more normal steel […]
Neil’s bike and news
Neil’s bike is now built and shipped. He should have it soon.
This is one of the last bikes I’ll be building with Merlin made frames and forks.
Merlin informed us, after we had placed an order for more frame sets with them, that they wont be able to build for us anymore. They wont be […]
