2009 Jeff Jones 3D Spaceframe Ti

[saltyman]

picked this up tonight from neil7, felt so bad as he didnt want to sell but unfortunate knee problems have dealt him a cruel blow bike riding wise.....

cracking guy who loves his bikes as much as the rest of us on here, and it was nice chatting with him today, we even went over his local fields on the bikes for a test ride.

december 2009, one of the last merlin built jones, not sure how many are in the UK, maybe another 4 or 5. think there were 75 made worldwide so not something you will see regulary.

also came with single speed cog and custom mudguards front and rear.

stopped off at evans cycles on the way home as i was desperate for a seat, was going to buy a basic charge spoon, but they had a single titanium railed one in my colour, result!

anyway heres some quick pics as i stuck the wheels on, and before i have set it up to my body.........enjoy

Was there ever a stem made to match the forks? The thomson looks a wee bit lumpy up there.

Cool as and I know you like it but fix that saddle angle

knew someone would pick that out it isnt tightened up there.

Yeah that looks very special indeed sweeeeeeeeet as

Was gonna comment on that 'special ' seat angle too, but someone's beaten me to it

I guess, i will go in this order:

@ Neil7
Man, i am sorry you had to sell the Jones, i know how much you liked that bike. Get well.

@ Salty
Well salty, you are one lucky guy. Neil's 3D was a much better choice than John's, especially since both have the same thin truss fork. But this is practically a new bike. Still has the green lines on the tires.
With all the extra funds you got leftover, i'd get a fat truss fork, and an eriksen layback seatpost.
Enjoy the bike, and write up some impressions - not on how it will look, but on how it rides.

 

[saltyman]

i only rode a mile or so at neils. Unlike anything i have ever rode! Very responsive and precise, and i love the high up view you get.

That looks to be a really fantastic frame: Real top quality craftsmanship.

Hope you'll post more as you get to know the bike.
