"I'm 6'3", 36" PBH, and fit quite well on a 25" Jones Plus (now "Jones 
Large"). It's one of the most comfortable bikes I've owned, maybe THE most 
comfortable."

Thanks for responding.  It's very good that you are comfortable on your 
Jones Plus, but I was asking more about fit than comfort.  Specifically, my 
main question was not "who fits on a Jones".  My question was "how does 
fitting work?"  Do you "get fit" by taking numerous measurements, like some 
"bike fitters" do professionally?  Do you just jump on a bike and ride it 
and buy one if you like it?  Do you talk on the phone to somebody at Jones 
and they say "just buy size X?"  The thing I'm gathering is that the Jones 
is almost like a BMX bike for grown ups.  It's so fun and killer and 
comfortable that it transcends size and fit.  Just go ride it and have 
fun.  Nobody "fit" a BMX bike.  You just rode it and smiled.  Is that a 
reasonable assessment?  Or is there something particular about the build 
process where you dial in the fit with the steertube and seat post, and so 
forth that allows you to get a precise "fit" even though there are only two 
sizes?  The vibe I'm getting is the bike kind of transcends fit.  Just go 
ride it, tweak things if you feel like it, and ride it some more.  Is that 
the way it works?
