Jones Demo Bikes at Biketoberfest

It's a high performance non-suspension bicycle... I wanted this bike to be better for technical and distance riding. My bike has a slacker seat-tube and a shorter top-tube than 'normal' bikes... Slacker angles keep the rider's weight off the hands and makes the front end easy to lift; the center of gravity is moved back and down for more control, with less shock to the upper body, more traction under braking, and a bike that is much harder to endo. This bike feels quick but also has a laid back feel. It's the best handling bike I've designed. - Jeff Jones
