I custom build all the wheels for the bikes and rolling chassis that we sell. I built my first wheels in 1985 and I still love it. I spend too much time doing it. I have a method and I get the tension very even and the wheel true and round. I seat the […]
I built this bike in 2009. It’s made from 4130 chromoly. It came about from riding the tandem home alone from the school after dropping off the kids and from riding an old heavy Chinese ‘workhorse’ bike I’ve had for an age – both are ‘long’ bikes and both very stable. The Long Ranger […]
After some spring cleaning and making more space, I’m headed to the Firebird bike swap this weekend to sell boxes of old bike stuff and a few old bikes.
Bob just built up and rode his bike and sent us a picture and a few words:

I designed/developed/evolved the geometry of this bike out on the tight single track trails in the woods and the dirt and gravel mountain roads near my shop here in Oregon. It is a “mountain bike” but is also an All Terrain Bike […]
This is a black steel Spaceframe bike with XTR, BB7s and a big Bud front tire. It is going to Brandon in New York.
Here’s a pictorial guide – how to grip and wrap a Jones Loop H-bar®
4/21/2016 Update: This is how we wrapped the H-Bars before we had full-length grips. We now have full-length grips, available in the store. Please check out the H-Bar manual for more information on how to set up the H-Bars.

Stu finished building up his new bike. It’s his second Jones.
“Got my first ride in on the new steel spaceframe today and have to say that i’m liking it a lot. Seems stiffer in the rear end when accelerating and on cambered trails but still quite soft over the bumps… Not really noticed the […]
