Thanks; I gathered that low Q is not a Jones design feature.
I did talk to him but never got the requested follow up information.

Look at the tires on that trailer!

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

With a Surly Offset Double crank, my Q factor is 175mm.
If you want to discuss ideas about the Jones, give Jeff a call. Set aside

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…

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.
