Blimey, if ever there was a bike that screamed "attention whore" it's that Jones.

People must point and laugh at those things in public... I mean biking is hardly the coolest sport anyway... But that is another level of geek!

SSS's right, ride with caution. Most costly test ride I ever had, but once ridden I had to find the £. I even sold our dog.

i think the Jones look hideous with the truss fork, but ok with a more normal fork.

You've kind of missed the point of the truss fork then. 😉

It's lighter and stiffer than the conventional looking fork.
Looks even don't come into it.

jones are ghastly contraptions, the steel cheapo versions are even blinkin worse as they're only owned by wanabes who haven't got the conviction to sell a kidney or two to really be an attention whore 🙄

Fat fronts are poo as well

Blimey, if ever there was a post bike that screamed "I am narrow minded, prejudiced and stupid" it's that one.

Every time that first pic gets posted, I wonder how many of those fat bikes were made, or was it a one off. A hire bike company could probably get a lot of hires out of that sort of bike.

Looks like Harley rims and tyres.
