I don't think Joneses will ever be unfashionable, because they're too much of a specialist item to start with. An equivalent might be a Merlin Newsboy, an Ibis Bow-Ti or similar – they might be a freakshow, but no-one ever got sick of seeing them on their local trails.

On the subject of Jeff Jones though, those weirdy coathanger bars (at least in their cheapo version) are a definite future candidate for "I had some of those… what was I thinking?!"

Oddly, considering my previous posts, I happen to like them. I tried some out recently, and whilst a) They are FUGLY and b) I wouldn't put them on a MTB, am I'm seroiously considering putting some on t'Roadrat for various reasons. 🙂
They do throw up some interesting compromises though…. Like shifters for a start……

Actually, neon-coloured bikes is a current one that I think we may look back and cringe at.

And I'm sick of seeing bikes in Kawasaki green already.

Chop-to-length seattubes

There you go! In ten years' time you can be telling younger riders "Yes, I had J-bars. Gave me fifty different hand positions that I never used and made my cable routing look like the aftermath of a spaghetti fight, but everyone else had them!" 🙂
