Yeah I saw that was just surprised not more people using the king guess maybe because it's newer griplock version he recommends

mmmm mango king
I've been using the cane creek headset it came with for over 3 years - with no issues.
the cane creek is lovely...and quite weenie as well 😀
let me clear i wasn't thinking of the king in terms of function so much as shiny niceness
Looks at jones frame. Oh wait....
Core that blue un is lush. Would love a steel diamond frame with ti truss forks. Awesome combo.

love the new lighter, slinkier, more compliant diamond...new tubes and not welded by merlin metalworks.....hmmmm red space frame
No red spaceframes exist. Just a few green and a few black spaceframes (with truss fork). That lovely Red (there's black too) is diamond frame and unicrown fork. It's all short production runs really. Jeff doesn't (yet) have the resources to produce lots of everything, in lots of colours.
Any more news on eta/pricing of the ti diamonds biff?

Purple steel diamond with Vicious Cycles fat fork. Love riding it!
Sorely tempted to buy stu's jones
You might struggle with that one now.
Love the colour! Did you get it sprayed purple yourself? If so where? ta

I emailed you to say I couldn't pull the money together? Good to hear you sold it
Sorry if that came across the wrong way.
It's being collected in the next couple of days by someone that's been looking for one for a very long time. Which makes me happy that someone has got exactly what they want at the right price. 8)

I do love that bike!
Stu, yeah was just rubbish timing for me - in 6 months I would have torn your arm off. Trying to find someone who does Jones and 0% finance but looks like a hiding to nothing. No money but free time now, money after August but no time. Ah well.
Sheldon's fat purple one is a good'un.
Although not sure I'd want to ride it!
Ti pricing as soon as I have it.

sweet my steel sf will be going for sale to fund one!
Tazzy, drop me an email might be interested. Ta

No, it came like that, it's a Merlin Steel one not a Taiwanese jobbie.
Oh Biff don't be shy 😉
I thought that bike was staying for life Stu?

My steel diamond/truss may be going to fund ti too 😉
Clink Get in touch! 🙂
These people selling to go ti is a pretty big endorsement of jones imo
"sweet my steel sf will be going for sale to fund one!"
Tazzy, please contact me..............
Also very interested in a your space frame 🙂
This is mine. Not nearly as [i]pretty[/i] as the 'standard' spaceframe but all part of Jeff's progressions...

Is there space for something meaty out back with that tube configuration?
Me? A 29x2.55 Weirwolf WTB fits I think, or have I got Maxxis tubeless something or other on there? Ignitor? I'll have to check, I've been on the pistachio green steel of late (and my Kona road bike :O)

Going for a demo tomorrow - I seem to be on a slippery slope and struggling to stop 🙂

Quoted from the jones website:
And I was riding one of my prototypes. I’m fortunate that I can build an entire bicycle to check and test my theories and inventions and this is one such experimental frameset. It’s riding well but very much still ‘in development’ so I can’t say much more until I have it ready
Looks very much like a Knard in the back of a steel Spaceframe to me 🙂
me want...........

with a 3" rear on a 48mm rim. 3/4 fat jeff just a total grip monster!!
'scuse cack garden....all money and time on bikes!
weird, the photos never do them justice, in the flesh they're really quite graceful
26" rear there Tazzy ?? How does it change the ride?
[img] 
[/img]Despite knowing that less bags = pack lighter = better.. I want 2 of these truss-camelbacks, quite a lot.
26" rear with a 3" fatty comes in about 28 and a bit inches so with a fat front as well it just drops the BB very slightly, I rolled the EBB up for the same sort of pedal clearance and it's ace. Acceleration is not it's forte any more but traction on stupidly steep and loose climbs is ace and point it down or on flowy stuff and it's monster truck mental. I keep making "vrooom" noises and giggling like a small child!
Tazzy that may be one of the best things done with a Jones in a while, looks like daft amounts of fun..
jameso- with a gear dangler and some frame bags, it would make a fantastic adventure bike, just take it anywhere. the rear happily runs at 8-10 Psi tubeless it's not as lardy as I was expecting.
Mmmm jones. Anyone want to buy a ss superfly?..
Nice to see that the new prototype designs are thoroughly 'tested' !!

that definitely looks like a Knard in the back.
