Re: Re: ^^ This would be my guess ^^

The seller added: "EDIT: I've had a comment from an Ebay user who seems to know his stuff. He says the frame is probably a steel "Haro Mary SS" frame with "On One" Carbon forks." I spotted the O-O fork, and I knew I'd seen the frame details *somewhere* before. One could do a lot worse for 250...

Probably around 120 mm. Hubgear widths vary, as did Humus. They did an alu version for a few years; those one cannot be re-spaced. But most were steel and the rear spacing can be stretched a few mm to accommodate an old-school (meaning narrow axle width) hubgear. The OLN spacing on SRAM /...

Re: The Roadhouse looks great (Hutch cherry metallic with black components: winner), as do the retro decals on the Explosif. They posted a "limited run" titanium 29er Humu on Facebook recently, but it doesn't appear in the 2016 line-up. Unfortunately, the geometry is corrected for a gert big...

Re: WTD: JONES Frame / Frameset (UK/EU) Wow... those Jeff Jones bikes, they're a bit like buses: Nothing for ages, and then suddenly three come along at once. Bigwheels2 and Gotama: Thanks a lot for your PMs. I literally sorted out a frame/fork etc. this afternoon. It's not as nice as either...

Re: WTD: JONES Frame / Frameset (UK/EU) Weekend "this is looking like a fail" type bump. 4. Potential seller has gone quiet for the last 6 weeks (busy moving house, which is understandable); 5. U.S. seller offered a great setup... but shipping / insurance / EU import tax / and VAT would have...

Re: Re: I've read a couple of review where customers [allegedly] got what Roberts thought was best for them rather than exactly what they requested. :x Back on topic: bump for a nice bike (love the sparkly lime-fade paint)

It says the rear end is 110mm. Did Hope do a BMX hub? Or maybe that's a multi-speed screw-on hub body (if Hope ever made such a thing?) fitted with a single freewheel? The forks and stem were bronze that year, but the colour is matched very well with the frame. It's very nice. But not sure of...

Re: Weekend bump. Crappy luck. Three strikes, so far. 1. Too slow: F&F already sold. 2. In discussion with seller, but F&F sold overnight to a buyer in a different time zone. 3. Retrobike member has decided to keep his Jones (a wise decision). Anyone else? :D

Re: I thought they did 16, 18, and 20 in all years... Not sure whether all sizes were imported to the UK in all years. Raidan73 must be right, as I can't recall seeing a blue 95 in the larger 20 size. Easy to tell the difference: Size 20 tends to look like a gate (chainstay / toptube angle)...

** UPDATE: All sorted. Thank you again to everyone who helped out ** As per the title: I'm interested in a Jeff Jones frame / frameset. Steel only, I'm afraid, as the Ti is a bit spendy. And it should already be within the EU. Framesets / bikes come up regularly in the US. Sadly, the...

But the listing implies it's hardly been used off the indoor rollers... so maybe it was never as lethal as it looks. Still, we don't usually see the "Ebay flipped fork trick" on the likes of a 'Dale. Rare comedy value, indeed :facepalm:

Re: I would have been all over that... IF I had seen it :facepalm: Too busy with pre-Xmas preparations. :evil:

Re: Looks fantastic! [edit: I just noticed the bar position. It's going to ride like crap like that. Remember looooong stems on MTBs?]

Re: Fact:The big 29er Ripper is perfect for flatland, parks, and getting air. As proven by this guy: http://youtu.be/CAmezakMXnI (Just to make your decision more difficult, there's also a 29er version of the Kona Humu 3-bar cruiser in 2015)

Re: If you check the archive on the SE website, they have done all sorts of re-imagined retro bikes in the last few years: a 26-inch PK Ripper, 24 and 29-inch Qauadangles, etc. I haven't ridden the 29 Ripper, but for actual riding around (as opposed to racing), a 29 will be more practical than...

It was down yesterday (EU), but I got to it via a proxy. But there was some Led Zeppelin backing track, which always causes Youtube licensing issues in Europe. Now it's blocked again. Keep trying -- it's well worth the effort.

Re: Lose the spoke reflectors. They look ridiculous :facepalm:

Re: Xi'an (otherwise known as XACD) list lookalike unicrown, Jones-style truss forks, etc. http://www.xacd.com.cn/index1.htm They also do custom frames and forks. However, the welding and dropouts will certainly differ (visually) from the authentic Ti P2, and it's anyone's guess how they...

Re: Any thread titled "Ugly Klein" is always worth a look :lol: This one doesn't disappoint.
