people. would be curious to see if that is true on the smaller end.

Ryan,

I'd be happy to oblige.  I always enjoy meeting up with local Riv riders.
One of my anticipated disappointments (anticipointments) regarding the
Jones is that coming back to this community with ride reports and pictures
is pretty OT.  Not saying it won't happen once or twice of course!  Gotta
have a Bombadil vs Jones post at least.

I've been incredibly curious about the Jones bikes for a couple years now,
since before the Plus came out even.  Color me susceptible to good/fun
marketing.  I would probably have settled for an extended test ride but
this frame was too good an opportunity to pass up.  I did something similar
w/ a Rawland rSOGN right before I bought Tom's Bombadil actually, only had
it about 6 months and enjoyed it but not enough to keep me from going after
the Bomba.

Once I've actually got it in my grubby paws and get to know it a bit I'll
throw out some ride dates and see if we can get a group together out at
Wakefield or Fountainhead...

Tony

Tony,

Eventually I'd love to see that Jones in person, or maybe on our local 
trails.  I've had my eye on Jeff's bikes for a while but have never seen 
one in the wild.

Great news for all, it sounds like.  And boy, oh boy - just wait.  You're 
not even going to believe how much you like single track once you hit it 
with the Jones!

And SOLD.  Thanks for the interest REALLY, thanks for the sale.  I went
on a hunch that the Bomba would sell at this price and went ahead and
committed to buying a local used Jones+ 24" complete bike.  Money hasn't
changed hands on the Jones purchase yet but it appears to be solid.

Now Saturday won't be as awkward with me adding a bike to the garage.  I'm
sad to see the Bomba go but mostly grateful for the unbelievable
introduction to singletrack riding it gave me.

SALE!!!  One of my target bikes came up at a tempting price, so long as it's 
available I'm motivated for a quick sale. 

F/F/HS/BB - $1,100 to me... You pay the shipping.  

Also happy to talk components. 

Help me out this morning and we could both be very happy! :)

I've seen this bike in person a few times. can vouch it looks great. I 
didn't even notice any chips, I think the bike itself is so awesome it 
takes focus away from all of that. Great price for complete -- considering 
he's got the Bruce Gordon Cantis which I've always
