Im adding a write up below from there on this item: The Jones Steel Plus LWB Spaceframe Black (size small only) is here to allow riders under 5′ 7″ to get the benefits of the larger 29+ tires! Are you interested in a complete bike or rolling chassis? Please sign up on the waitlist for Custom Select. The size small Jones Plus Spaceframe brings the great handling, rollover capability, and comfort of the Jones Plus LWB in a small frame with great standover clearance for smaller riders. It has the same 148x12mm thru-axle (boost) rear end, 150x15mm thru-axle hubs–which allow you to use generator hubs designed for fat bikes–and three water bottle bosses on the downtube to allow you to mount three-hole bottle cages. This is also the first Jones frameset to come with our newly-designed thru-axles! Jeff wanted to pare-down the thru-axles he used to the minimum by simplifying them as much as possible to make a system that is as reliable, light, and durable as possible. The result is the Jones TA Bolt. It works just like a standard quick release thru-axle, but instead of just threading it in until it’s tight enough to clamp the quick release, you just tighten this one until it’s tight, using a 5mm allen wrench. Jeff says it reminds him of tightening the wheels on his bike as a kid, and he is really happy with how positive and solid the connection feels.The Jones Plus LWB has shown us how versatile one bicycle can be, and has opened up new territory for many riders; this version updates the axle-spacing to expand the chain-to-tire clearance in the rear–allowing us to use the latest 11 speed drivetrains with the biggest 29×3″ tires–and open up the fork to fit the new crop of 150mm generator hubs, making this a truly unbeatable bikepacking rig! Whether you want a bike to ride around town with more comfort than you would have thought possible, to shred your local singletrack, or to ride to the ends of the earth, this just might be the one! Available in Black with an ED Black underlayer to protect the frame from rust, and a matte clear coat.This is a frame, fork, EBB (bottom bracket), front and rear TA bolts, water bottle bolts, clips, and standard derailleur hanger. If you would like a single speed hanger, get one here! The frames have a pinch-bolt type bottom bracket shell and use the Jones Eccentric Bottom Bracket. In the first blog post about the Jones Plus LWB, Jeff says, “I did not design this bike based on market research, a reaction to what other people were making, or because people were suggesting I make this bike or that bike their idea of what I should do next. I made this bicycle because I wanted it and I think many others will love it too. I realized that I do not need or want a bike that has the absolute shortest wheel base possible for every ride, and I knew that you dont need to have a steep head or seat angle to have a responsive bike that is fast, efficient and comfortable.I designed my 29er bike years ago with a slacker seat tube angle, slacker head tube angle, shorter reach, lower BB and more fork offset than what was considered correct and normal at the time. I did this for a better ride based on what I had learned, not because it was popular. Nowadays many 29ers have more fork offset and slacker seat tube angles etc. Some have even branded and marketed this change in geometry I never named my geometry, but if I did, lets call it JJ1 Geometry, then this Jones Plus LWB has JJ2 geometry. I spent hours working on it centering the rider, considering the BB height, the angle and offsets, the rake and trail the ride is everything.People might try and simplify it its just a long wheelbase Jones with 29+ tires but it isnt. Its so much more. It is NOT slow handling. Ive done so much work to make it still ride the way I want a bike to ride. Hours of geometry drawings and thinking. Notes and testing. This is really even more of a rigid specific geometry for a ride that is much more comfortable and stable yet still with very quick handling. It is balanced in a way you wouldnt expect. Its big but feels right. You ride very much in this bike. Theres no roughness, no Im gonna crash sensation or fears. Its just smooth! And it climbs. If you stand theres no wheelie. Its planted. It delivers excellent traction and a huge sweet spot (and I dont mean the tire contact area Im talking about the big space for the rider to move around (in the bike) and still have their position, the grip and the power transfer working for them).The Jones Plus LWB is a bike for riding fast, slow, the rough with the smooth; safely, aggressively, laid-back or raging; with a big load or stripped to the bare essentials; on road, dirt, mud, snow; in the mountains, on the flat lands, around town or across the county; around the world or your local loop; for getting rad or just getting away. It sets a new standard for bikepacking yes, but its so much more than that its a bike for technical trails and big trips. It really does it all. Im really excited by this bike. Its good.”Jones small Spaceframe Plus LWB, fits 29 and 29+ tiresUnique Jones Geometry frameset frame and forks designed together as oneEBB For geometry adjustment and single speed chain tension.
