weighs half a ton, is beast on climbs with a fat front, but is more fun than a fun thing and makes me smile like a child a christmas ๐Ÿ˜€

only problem is that my inner weight weenie is kicking in and a full Ti space frame one, my blingy bits that are on this gas pipe version would be ace and lighter! does anyone want to buy a kidney, part of a liver, my mum etc.... so I can afford one ๐Ÿ˜€

that's a 4" Vee rubber devistator, heavy but sticks like poo to a blanket.

If I can get the folding bead 127tpi Nate I may sacrifice a bit of girth for a weight saving.

I do miss my truss forks, but the unicrown ones work very well, just don't look quite as nice

I've owned loads of "normal" bikes and to be honest the jones is more fun on the down hill bits and just as confidence inspiring as my ellsworth or sinister full bouncers.

It also really seems to upset gearie trail ridery weekend warriors when it overtakes them ๐Ÿ˜†

either man, your welcome to come for a guided bimble in the new year bring yourself and some pedals and you can have a go on both 29ers over a nice little 30-40 miler ๐Ÿ˜€

haven't seen tollah and the niche boys n girls since SSUK so would be good to catch up with them as well

Hey Futon, it's time we hooked up for a ride again (maybe in the North Downs), my mail addy is in my profile if you're keen.

aa- climbs fine with a 29er in the front, climbs erm...steady with a fat front but that's down to it being nearly 29lb and singlespeed still perfectly doable it just feels like I'm running a couple of teeth higher on the gear ratio.

Once I've got my pimp daddy front wheel and custom hub sorted it'll all be a bit more reasonable.

the geometry really is spot on with a jones, as long as you don't want a flat out race machine* they are fantastic.

*thats what my 20lb selma is for ๐Ÿ˜€

nah slappy, there's a purple one that lives on the chase as well (ex manchester trev, now a ringo machine), plus lots of others around. Not many coloured ones though as they mainly seem to be black.

WTF is the point in a useless POS like that?

Can you not afford a propper bike?

Edit.

BTW your mom looks hot.

cheers stu, it has no point other than to make me waste my money on cheap taiwanese tat. Can't afford a normal bike. I would like to say as well that the fat front makes it harder to push up hill for photographs, maybe I should make a polystyrene replica as it'll never actually get ridden ๐Ÿ˜€

My mom is hot and says she quite fancies some brummie love action, so you may be in luck

rootes the landie would never make it, that amount of 29er wheel in one place classifies as an IED!

The only brummie I know is Keef but i think he likes the older ladies that entertain multiple gentelmen in his local park.
Your mom looks far too classy for that though.
