A testing ride with Tim

By Jeff|February 21st, 2013|

Tim (my photographer friend) and I went for a ride last week. Just the loop from the shop, around and back. The trails are a little sticky in places but they’re riding well. I lent Tim a bike to ride. It was his first ride on a fat front and he was impressed enough […]

Revel in the details

By Jeff|February 15th, 2013|

This is the latest version of my steel Diamond frame and Unicrown fork first introduced in 2010. I want to talk about some of the details, the thought that goes in to my work. People might think this is a ‘standard’ steel frame and forks. It isn’t. It began as an exceptional frameset but […]

Hong Kong HIM

By Jeff|January 14th, 2013|

There’s a Jones feature in the Kong Kong edition of HIM magazine. It looks great, and I’m told it’s a good read too – for those who can. Certainly “I love bicycle very much”. Many thanks to Jimmie for the exposure. Here are the pages. And HIM can be found here… http://www.him.com.hk/index_him.htm

Another Bike

By Jeff|January 11th, 2013|

Joe got a Jones singlespeed bike a few months ago. His wife liked it so much and kept taking it for rides, now she is getting one too.

Now I’ll clean, tune and pack the bike. It’ll ship on Monday.

Winter Solstice

By Jeff|January 4th, 2013|

My winter solstice ride/push. I rode a singlespeed with the big Bud front tire.
It was a good ride/hike. Quite  a lot of snow in the mountains now…

After climbing the road and going around my loop until there were no more tracks to ride in the snow, I pushed and walked for a few miles […]

The rear hub is an Industry Nine with a SRAM XX1 compatible freehub body.

The rim is the Surly Rabbit Hole and it has two rows of 32 holes for the spokes. I built this wheel with all the spokes into the holes on the […]
