Maybe a question of ignorance but.........
Why do all Jones's seem to have layback posts? Are they not all custom built? If they are would the TT not be made longer or am I missing something?
Very cool though
The top of the seat tube is not braced by the seat stays and is held by the curved center top tube which allows it to flex back, absorbing trail shock instead of transmitting the shock to the rear wheel (and up the seatstay and then to the seatpost). This along with the long seat post and compliant rear end give a very comfortable shock absorbing ride and feel.There is a wealth of information on the Jones website,
