Jones Steel Plus SWB Diamond Frameset
The Jones Plus SWB is the evolution of the original Jones: the Jones 29. The Jones 29 has been a truly groundbreaking bike since its introduction back in 2009, and this is the first major update it's gotten—which speaks to its enduring design, but recently Jeff saw developments which, together with little tweaks he'd had in mind, warranted a real update. Jeff tweaked that proven geometry to allow for clearance of 27.5x3+" tires front and rear (though it will fit up to a 4" tire in the front). This results in a 11mm longer rear center, which, when combined with a 1° slacker headtube angle, gives the frame an 11mm longer front center as well. This 22mm longer wheelbase gives the Plus SWB just the right amount of added stability when compared to the original Jones 29—without affecting the bikes superbly nimble handling.
