I'm looking at getting a jones in one shape or form in the future.Ive got a monkey which I love the ride and feel.Has anyone upgraded? to a jones and been happy to spend the money or is the monkey as close for little outlay as your going to get? Perhaps you've had something else and bought a jones and thought it wasn't worth it? Thoughts and pics please. Thanks in advance.

Better ask Clink .........he's the frame reviewer ๐Ÿ˜†
But for me the extra you'll be paying on top of what that Monkey cost ......you could get a whole fat bike ๐Ÿ˜‰
Just sayin like

I have a steel Jones spacframe, i have never tried a KM though so can't comment on that bike. The Jones was a big decision for me because of the cost, however i am very glad i took the gamble and got one, i really dont regret paying out for it. The Jones feels like no other bike i have ever ridden. I would say that if you prefer a rigid bike you will love it.

A few people on MTBR seem to have gone from a KM to a Jones, could be worth a look/post there. Safe to say they're a quite different ride to other rigid bikes, fat bikes, etc. Unique even.
