Jones

Seems like since Merlin came on board with Jeff Jones his bikes have become far more prolific (which was the point obviously) and you're much more likely to bump into someone riding one. Although maybe that's the illusion of the interweb, even if there are a thousand Jones bikes out there then it's still a longshot you'd see one. I do know there's a Jones owner who lives near Barcelona (and NZ the rest of the time!) I was in touch with and I've seen a few in the flesh now and they don't seem nearly as weird as when I first saw one but why the hell do they, almost, all have those WTB saddles! They look terrible, though maybe that's to distract from the frame. Good to see truss forks can double as bottle holders...
