It’s been a busy spring, and that has meant that we haven’t been putting up as many photos of bikes that we’ve built lately. That doesn’t mean that we haven’t had any to show though, so here are a few highlights from the stand! Most of these builds are minor variations on our standard builds, combining reliable parts that work well together to create a very-functional and cohesive bike. A few add more accessories to outfit them more fully for a specific purpose, such as touring, which is always fun for us because we get to imagine them out exploring!
Jones Plus, Shimano XT 10 speed drivetrain, M8000 cranks and brakes, aluminum Jones Loop H-Bars, WTB Scraper rims, Maxxis Chronicle tires. This is a great example of our standard Plus build. It makes for a great all-around bike that is at home just about anywhere!
