Only rode it to work and back but its lush
50th present to myself probably the last bike I will bespoke build, shame the pound collapsed or it would have been Chris King 🙂
Will be used for bike packing adventures

Could you not have saved a bit harder and bought a real Jones? 😛
never seen a Jones for sale in the flesh so been unable to change the price labels!
Nice.
Like. Very nice
Shed and van need some work tho
😆
That is lovely.....
I like it and not even going to say anything about your fence. Are the forks tapered or straight? Are they the Travers ones?
Was trying to be arty farty with the garage(not mine)
Tapered forks from Travers carbon including steerer with mounts for anything cages 🙂
Industrial yet purposeful.......
.......the setting not the bike.
😀
Looks damn fine rich, if anyone on stw ever deserved to "treat yo'self" it's you
Oh no rich those wheels are the wrong size and the tyres are made of cheese how the hell are you going to be able to ride it
Nice bike BTW 😉
Mighty fine that, like it a lot.
Got your head around the cable routing yet Rich?
Oh dear me that is just lush!!! 😀
That is lovely. Want.
I like the Stooge stuff and am right at the front for one of the new steel ones.
The fork on this one looks out of place, too long AtoC maybe?
Also, may be the angle but, the rear clearance looks tight.
I run 3.0" NNs on Hugo's and they to really plump up a tyre but isn't that a 2.8" on the rear?
Really nice! Congrats 🙂
Very nice!
Meh, you should have painted it.;)
Niiiice bike, I want a go.
Mark they are 3.0 Ranger tough tyres and clearance is tight hence the brake cable routing not ideal but I can live with it no heel rub.
If anyone in the Lakes is Stooge curious quite happy for you to throw a leg over 🙂
Thing of beauty Bill
Looks tidy, will give it a proper look over in May at Southlakes 100.
Really nice!
Sweet ride!
Nice
Only just noticed the cable routing on the outside of the chainstay. Just where you'd expect any kind of rock strike while riding through rocky areas in for example the Lakes.
Seen as you don't ride in that area though i'm sure you'll be fine.
Yet to see a rock strike on my chain stay on any of my bikes even more chance of a rock strike on the BB and thats where its routed maybe I might drill the frame and go internal 🙂 if I do back brakes are over rated IMHO 🙂
Furry muff.
If you push down the tech you'll be fine. 😉
That is gorgeous. If you haven't already, I'd stick some invisiframe crank skins things on. Will stop them from getting tatty very quickly.
Very nice....& very tempted. I'm in the the Lakes in May any chance of swinging my leg over it for about 100 miles! 😉
Must be the first new bike thread where there has be no hate comments 🙂
I hate it.
I don't really. Looks lovely!
Looks rather Fabulous Postierich.
Sorry more pics with the kit attached frame bag is a tad small as its off my puffin, I might sell this one and buy another so the zips are on the right hand side. New bag from Alpkit that inserts inside the Jones bars fits a treat. No proper riding just yet ribs are still holding me back 🙁
