BikePimp · Jan 11, 2009

Not really retro, but has that awesome Merlin type front Titanium fork that is a work of art.

Looks like a shopping trolley, not at all pleasing on the eye

admittadly the merlin girder fork looked a lot nicer.. IMHO needs to be made from larger diameter tubing.

Seems that there are loads of Jones up for sale at the mo. There are another 2 on STW at the moment and I know another one. Is there an even more niche builder that people are switching to? 36" unicycle, maybe

That fork does look better (or at least is better matched) on the Jones spaceframe frame.

Personally I love loads of his stuff, his attention to detail and his interesting tweeks like the 6 speed cassette, h-bars and the truss forks - just look at my modern bike for evidence. But I hate the way he's ended up with a cult following, that are by their fickle nature, transient, meaning that he could end up on the scrap pile way before he should....

I'd still love one of his earlier spaceframes, but can't be doing with the twisty new ones, strangely!

I like it, the pics on his site of him riding them should convince anyone
