Re: [RBW] Ride Report - Santa Monica to Santa Barbara Century

Thanks for a wonderful read and great pics, Keith! The cheering crowds and patient braggart were highlights, but can’t compare with that gorgeous Sam build of yours. The last pic deserves a place on Leah’s “Style on the Bike” thread. Kudos! Christian On Monday, February 5, 2024 at 5:59:42 AM

Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: Jones LWBam

Eric, for what it’s worth I owned & loved a Jones 29, the standard Jones bike that evolved into the SWB. Jones had introduced the LWB & I think decided to call there existing model the SWB. The Jones 29 was never called a “plus” bike but it comfortably fit a 29” x 3” tire up front and a 29” x 2.6”

Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: Jones LWB

Hey Ryan, At the risk of getting dangerously OT for the RBW list, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the SWB vs LWB. I've owned two LWBs, but I'm currently Jones-less. I enjoyed the LWB, but for my type of riding (either local road riding, or throw the bike in the car and drive to a mountain bike

Re: [RBW] Re: Wanted: Jones LWB

I've thought of a Jones, but have refrained because I'm very attached to my usual drop bar riding position even for off road (the light off-roading I do). I don't suppose you can comfortably install a drop bar on a Jones? And, I expect also that Joneses have widish Q factors (>160 mm)?

I am another vote to pick up a Jones on sale! I prefer the SWB for most of my riding but the LWB sis awesome in its own way. The SWB has replaced all of my other bikes. Though I still need to sell a Tanglefoot Hardtack. Drop bars just don’t work for me… On Tuesday, February 6, 2024 at 6:45:01

Good point about very large gear gaps, and true that my riding does not generally involve very steep and very long climbs and that I generally prefer to torque than to spin. We all know that front derailleurs are capable of shifting 12-16 tooth gaps, my DA 7402 (?) fd shifts between the 44 and 28

[RBW] Re: Wanted: Jones LWB

I have a Jones LWB in my quiver of seven bikes and it gets ridden the most. I can imagine selling other bikes, but not the Jones. The long stable wheelbase, lowish BB, short-upright cockpit, fast steering (for offroad, 75 mm trail), room for 3+" tires, all combine to make a unique and fun bike.
