These new framesets have the same geometry, fit and parts compatibility as the steel Jones Plus SWB framesets and the award winning Plus SWB complete bikes, but these are made from titanium so they are lighter, have a nice spring to the ride, they don’t need paint and look great without it.

Frame Specs:

  • Beautifully hand TIG welded, 3AL-2.5V Titanium tubing, heat treated
  • Jones Eccentric Bottom Bracket (EBB) and fully replaceable stainless steel hardware, 68 mm BSA/English threaded
  • Jones TA / thru axle bolts front and rear,  simple, reliable, light, and low-profile
  • Frame designed for 27.5″ x 2.8-3″ or 29″ x 2.3-2.6″ tires, with big clearance. Will fit up to 27.5″ x 3.25″ with less clearance
  • Compatible with single or double chainring crank sets
  • Ample chainring / stay clearance for up to a 38 tooth boost chainring
  • Standard 148 mm x 12 mm thru-axle “Boost” rear hub spacing
  • Chainstay mounted 51 mm IS rear disc brake mount for stiffness and ease of mounting fenders and racks
  • Seatpost size is 27.2 mm (a set back post is recommended for the SWB)
  • 31.8 mm / 32 mm seatpost clamp size diameter
  • Standard 1-1/8″ headtube for external bearing headsets such as the Jones H-Set
  • Multiple rear rack and fender mounts for the best rack/fender/tire size fit
  • Jones replaceable derailleur hanger
Jones Titanium Truss fork:

  • Beautifully hand TIG welded, 3AL-2.5V Titanium tubing, heat treated
  • Standard 150 mm x 15 mm thru-axle front hub spacing
  • Fork designed for 27.5″ x 2.8-3″ or 29″ x 2.3″-2.6″ tires, with big clearance. Fits up to 27.5″ x 3.8″ or 29″ x 3.25″ with less clearance.
  • 51 mm IS disk brake tab
  • Replaceable 1-1/8″ aluminum steerer tube, 345 mm long
  • Fork length: 435 mm
  • 55 mm offset / rake
See how the steel and titanium Plus SWB have the same geometry and fit. The titanium bike above is built up with 29″ x 2.35″ tires, the steel bike with 27.5″ x 3″. Both are size medium.
The Spaceframe has more standover clearance and extra vertical compliance, while the Diamond frame weighs less and has more framepack capacity. Both are size medium.
Jones Diamond frame bike with 29″ x 2.35″ tires and Spaceframe bike with 27.5″ x 3″. Both are size large.

Above you can see that the Plus LWB and SWB have the same fit but the wheelbase and wheel size is different.
