What's the back sweep on the Jones?
Is that a Salsa fork?
Custom geo?

My Five is white. I like bikes in white.

I really like the idea of the loop but I want something in 17-23 degrees.
I got the same fork.
Who built the frame? Loving the lines of the bendy tube tube. :smile:

Looks nice, and I thought it looked like Olly's work at first glance. Good to have a recognisable style.

Only just noticed the internal cable routing. That's a nice touch.

That's very neat Taylor, I like it. I like the curves, the internal routing and those sliding dropouts look like a nice elegant design - I like how it doesn't rely purely on friction of the bolts.

Don't forget to watch the alu tube on the steel frame (battery, mega corrosion cough, lots of people, me included, more than once on the same frame, cough) :wink:
