Forgive me if this is well known but it was news to me!

Surprised steel will stand the same sort of flexing that ti does without fatiguing, or am I talking cods...?

not digging the all-black look. Bit of colour might help

I dont think just anyone would buy one, infact im fairly sure no one would buy one unless they new Jones and followed them, i think you would look an idiot on 1 at a trail centre as 99% of people looking at it would not have a clue what it was, they would think it was something out of a skip that was made in the 30s Crying or Very sad
I also dont think a steel 1 would sell, why would anyone who wanted to buy a Jones buy one made of an inferior material, Jones are Titanium and nothing else and thats what people would buy. surely :?

You've a point there...

Loving the evil all-black; it's like some kind of top secret alien weapon let loose in a trail-centre to destroy all the fancy schmancy trinketry...

Time for bed I think

DeKerf, Ritchey and KHS all made steel softail frames that relied on chainstay flex for the "pivot".

Looks like an excellent cruiser and commuter.
Having ridden the Ti version very briefly that is what it felt like to me, it felt like riding the 'granddad bikes'. You know very practical, easy to ride, really comfy and simple (hence an 80 year old can ride them granddad bikes and have done since they was young). Which to me is high praise.
P.S. stuff what other people think about my bike, count careless what some person at a trail centre thinks. Tell them to go ride in the real world :roll:
