Gauging interest. I'm about to be deployed overseas, so won't be using this for a long while/ever, and a shame to store it. Originally built up for GDMBR in 2017, (I went late in the year and so had to reroute massively to avoid forest fires, the originally plan was to do the actual route again :( )
• Unique Jones Geometry frameset – frame and forks designed together as one
• EBB For geometry adjustment and single speed chain tension.
• 68mm bottom bracket width
• Titanium (custom-butted down tube, straight-guage top tube for stiffnes)
• Jones TA bolts front and rear Simple, reliable, light, and low-profile (front weighs 50 grams; rear weighs 45 grams)
• Excellent clearance for 29+ tires (10mm+ clearance either side with a 29+ tire – with 29er tire you can get a palm in between the tire and stays)
• Ample chainring/stay clearance
• 148mm TA rear end Increased chain/tire clearance allows you to use all 11 speed drivetrains with the widest 29x3" tires.
• Huge frame pack capacity (Jones bikepacking bags available).
• TIG welded – tig welded cable guides, bottle, rack and fender bosses.
• Multiple rear rack and fender mounts for the best rack/fender/tire size fit (extra bosses allow you to have the rack at a height to suit the tires/wheels) so very versatile and accommodating of different equipment and different set-ups.
• Plenty of room for bottles! The 24" (Jones Medium) has 2 standard water bottle mounts on the top of the downtube, 1 triple boss mount underneath the downtube, and now the outermost fender/rack bosses on the seatstays above the dropouts can be used to mount water bottles as well (total: 5)! The 25" (Jones Large- which this is) Plus adds 1 standard bottle mount on the seatube (total: 6).
• Triple bottle bosses underneath downtube --for mounting cages such as Salsa Anything cage OR a standard 2 hole water bottle cage.
• Jones Truss fork – comfortable, precise handling, no brake stutter
• 150mm thru-axle front hub spacing – for more front wheel stiffness and strength and compatibility with the latest generator hubs
• Fork accommodates 29, 29+, 27.5 x 3.8" and 26 x 4.8” tires.
Thinking £2.5K for the frame and forks (cost circa £4k new with customs duty)
