No – fits any standard (not PressFit) bottom brackets.

Is there not a ti diamond option now? How come?

I’ve got my fat fronted steel SF down to 26 1/2 lbs and with a couple of kit changes sub 26 will be no problem

If you got rid of all that metal you’ve inserted into your body you’d get rid of more weight than that. 😆

very true Mr Stu, I need to find a maker of fine carbon fibre tunnels, plugs and body rings to weight weenie myself 😀

What about if they splinter. 😯

the I loose bits of me in interesting and painful ways. Buffalo horn and bamboo are a safer weight saving bet.

So Biff says there are ti diamond on the way but has anyone (Tazzy?) had a steel diamond with ti truss forks? Thoughts?

LOLerskates at tazzy.

You could get the buffalo to pierce your scrot and cut it’s horn off in situe.

Davy Crockett would aprove.

had a steel diamond with ti truss forks? Thoughts?

no, I had a scandium frame with very similar geometry to a diamond with Ti jones forks, light as alight thing and bloody brilliant!

the one size fits all is the only thing putting me off, (well that and having to sell one of the Karate Monkeys) as I am a hobbit. I really must get down to Charlie’s and have a quick spin on the (ex) demo bike……….

Drat, this has got me thinking. But does anyone have a Jones I can sit on, I’m not convinced a 23″ frame is a good idea. I’m in Bristol…..

jameso: can you come back to the west country at some point, I reeeally want to have a go on your Jones…

Ti spaceframe would be my first lottery win bike purchase I reckon. So not my normal bag but if you take money out of the equation, it becomes a must have 🙂

Build a house on the mid-west welsh coast in the middle of nowhere and just go and ride my Jones into the hills everyday – lush!

Gary, Flashes, I’m in stroud this weekend if of use. I’m popping jeans and T in my frame back and riding over to see friends and Hell’s Bells are playing in town )
It’ll have road tyres on but if you’re in the area on Sun you’re welcome to try it out. Otherwise I’ll be off-roading the Ti SF that way before long on the Ridgeway, will then get a train to Stroud. Or Bristol, could crash in Bristol if anyone wants to arrange a local ride?

Bristol sounds good, I could put you up too if you like. Let me know dates. Flashes and I know each other so we could round up a group ride if you fancied…

Flashes , I’m go to the FoD allot if you would like to try my steel Diamond

James, what Gary said, apart from the putting you up bit………….

Mr red chili, certainly possible………

Happy to swap a ride for a go on my Pugsley, SS or fixed Karate Monkeys

A Pugsley would be fun, I’ll pootle around on that quite happily. Mailed Gary about suitable weekends.

All I need to do is free up the seat post then……..

This is a good thread – a fair few Jones riders explain things better than I do – all the various views are good. Now who was Bristol / South West and wanting a test ride? I’m going to be riding in the Quantocks on Friday 22nd so might well be able to accommodate a few people if they want a go on a steel Jones, and Bristol on the saturday might be workable. Post here or email biff@yesweareontheweb.com if you fancy. And I might well be hooking up with James in the FoD in late March.

Titanium space and diamond frames are ‘next’ for production, fyi. Charlie (tbm) knows. And Bothy.

Gonna be a run of orders on those…

I’m geniunely tempted, but enough has to be enough )

Gonna be a run of orders on those…

Oh yes! Anyone want to buy my soul?!? 😯

Any word on pricing Biff?

A few words, like “more than last time” (!) but no specifics yet. It will be lots I think but I’ve had mine since 2004 and the pounds per mile/smile ‘value for money’ makes it a great deal, just that ‘big lump sum’ to clamber over :O)

I know I emailed you about a steel frame with ti truss but do you know if ti diamond with truss going to be more/less/sameish as current ti spaceframe with truss? ta

As soon as I know I will tell you – and update this.

Good news on the Ti diamond getting back into production! I can stop pestering Jeff
