Titanium cyclocross / monstercross build

Posted on
  • So I picked up a frameset for my new titanium cyclocross / monstercross build. The frame is a Radon Urban Titan trekking frame, which according to the seller was built by German titanium specialist Kocmo. The frame came with a very unusual Jeff Jones titanium truss fork. From what I have read about it, the fork should be pretty spectacular.

  • This should be good :-)

    How fat a tyre could you get in that Jones fork?

  • ^ I agree and 3" I guess?

  • Looks that way.

    Wow, 26" wheel with 4'' tyre!

  • I'm pretty sure* I've ridden that Jones!

    *after some borderline Flickr stalking I can confirm I did have a quick spin on it!

  • Current Jones forks have 135 mm spacing, but mine has the old 100 mm spacing. As such I won't be able to fit an extremely wide tires.

  • Below is a picture of the frameset with some parts on it I had lying around. It looks as if the fork stands a bit higher than it should, so I am hoping that won't affect the ride too much.

  • subbed.
    looking forward to this. good luck.

  • that looks awesome!

    just curious... is the steerer tube a separate piece so you can get the fork/headset on and off?

    Good luck with the build!

    Cheers, Matt

  • The steerer tube is a separate piece and can come off.

  • dibs ;)

  • Sweet Jesus, if you ever want to sell that truss fork...

  • Did you ever finish this?
