2018 What a year!

By Jeff|December 28th, 2018|

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 […]

Overnight Ride in Southern Oregon With my Jones Plus SWB Complete Bike

By Jeff|September 21st, 2018|

Just days after the first test rides on my new bike, we had an awesome lightning thunder show. Then fires and a full summer of thick smoke.  Once the smoke cleared and blue skies returned, I went out for a good long ride with an overnight in the middle.

I’m trying out some different parts on […]

New Jones Bicycle

By Jeff|July 13th, 2018|

The desire to make the best bike has tended to mean that the construction methods, materials, and many other small details end up adding up to a more expensive package, which, while hitting its mark of giving a great riding bike, still kept some riders who wanted and would benefit from a Jones from […]

Finally: some recently (and not so recently) completed builds!

By Jones Bikes|June 26th, 2018|

Over the years we’ve posted photos of some of the recent bikes we’ve built for customers, but lately, we’ve been busy with other things and all of the bike builds that have been happening just haven’t ended up on the blog.  Hopefully late really is better than never, because what follows is a sampling of […]

The return of the Jones Unicrown fork

By Jones Bikes|June 15th, 2018|

Jeff designed his iconic Truss forks to make the best use of the traits of titanium (the original material in which he made them) in order to deliver the maximum stiffness and strength with the least weight, all while maining a forgiving ride.   They deliver an impressive ride quality that manages to balance precise […]

By Jones Bikes|June 15th, 2018|

We’ve recently started running out of some of the Jones Plus LWB framesets again, so we’re very happy to announce that we have a new batch on the way!  This means a couple of things: we will have the medium size back in stock—in both black and the new red (Pantone 7621)— and with it, […]

What happened to the Jones 29?

By Jones Bikes|April 10th, 2018|

One of the more common question questions we get is whether we are discontinuing the Jones 29 framesets.

The answer is no.

Jeff has updated his original short wheelbase bike, and with that update has come a name change, but the changes to the geometry are very minimal.  With an aim to clarify the changes to […]
