I had the last one 🙂

Just measured it - Jones truss fork from the center of the QR to the bottom edge of the headset is 330mm give or take a few mm, headset is 20mm then the headtube start. Good guess Brant. 606mm includes the top section of the truss fork.

Interesting to see what you want for it - they cost $1000 new, but then Jeff wont make you one without the frameset...... and you can't buy one anyway since merlin no longer make them!

Sorry I measured from the axle to the bottom of the top head set, I thought that's what you asked me to measure.
I've never heard of the AC length 😳

The measurement you want is aprrox 440mm I hope

Is this the correct place to measure on the updated shot above?

Too bad, it is not going to work with (any) my sus corrected 29er, I need 470mm at least to not mess with my steering; it would work with a 26er and sus uncorrected 29ers though.

But I can always by your whole Jones can't I?

You could build a 69er from that spare fork...... Might be worth advertising it on MTBR classified section. I'm sure there's somebody out there who would want to build up a custom frame based around the fork.
