Ian. Thank you for the explanation. It sounds like a perfect compliment to the
Joe. I’ll just need to raise bike funds to buy one. Or if anyone wants to trade
a Sam for a Jones, let me know.

The chainstays aren't the defining characteristic of Jones geometry! On the
LWB with truss fork the HTA is 67.5 and the fork has 76mm offset. Looks
like short wheel base HTA is 69 and unicrown fork offers 55mm offset. So
you're still getting a long wheelbase that offers stability but more from
I believe the complete Jones bikes have chainstays that are 44.5 cm long.
Hopefully Jeff will offer the LWB model as a complete.

Thank you for the feedback. I wish the Jones was easier to test ride, but
not many shops carry it. However, my in-laws do live near Talent so I
might have to swing by. The more I ride the Joe, and now that I have
Boscos on it, the more I like the fat tire, long chainstay design. Of

Jones was awesome on trails, I had the LWB one. It wasn't as whippy as my now
Santa Cruz. I bet a SWB would be fun.
I had a Clem. Stable. Boring. Got me to work just fine.
Atlantis was decent, stiff and overbuilt for my use and weight. I do miss it.
It fit well.

Jonathan, I am a big fan of the Ti bikes I own (Seven, Blacksheep and the
Jones). In all of these bikes I feel a smoothness when I ride that isn't
always present in others. I certainly like steel and have never owned a
carbon fiber, so that is my universe of experience in frame materials. I
Chris. Just curious why you think it is a superlative ride? Any comparisons
in terms of ride and feel?

My Jones is a dedicated off-roader. I'm running 3" knobbies tubeless with
10psi in front, 12psi in back, and the bounce when pedaling on pavement is
pretty extreme.

I have a Joe A and the older version of the Jones diamond Ti frame with the
truss fork - so not the LWB.. Although I love both of these bikes, the
Jones is a superlative ride. I have the "smaller" slick tires (2.5?)
Schwable Marathon Supreme and Alfine 8 drivetrain on the Jones. Talking to

Ian - how would you describe the ride feel between the two on pavement?

I have a Clem and Jones Plus. When I lived in California and rode trails
that were beautifully groomed a bike like Clem was just fine. Then I moved
to PA and all my local trails are gnarly, root filled, technical
singletrack that are designed with modern mountain bikes in mind. Sure, I

I think RBW's introduction of the Wavie bar brings the Jones/Petersen
convergence even closer. I just got a Jones H Bar and really like it and
the Wavie looks to have a similar grip angle. I was amazed at the
difference the Jones bar made in slow speed maneuvering and I think the
