Hello Keith, Thank you for taking time for giving your experience and recommendation on the spaceframe. The stable ride of the plus and vertical compliance without the use of suspension made me seriously consider the Jones frame. I recently bought my 48 Hunqapillar from Philip for my do it all mountain bike for my planned Great Divide next year. The fit and comfort (A-Hearn handlebar) makes me smile every time I take the Hunq out for a ride. Although Hunqapillar owners here reported that it is more than capable of taking the Great Divide, I would like to try the Jones Spaceframe plus for the reported comfort provided by the bigger tires (3 inch) and frames's vertical compliance. The added comfort will help reduce risk to my lower back where I had a history of slip disc. Ed
