Back in the early '00s, Jeff Jones decided to start putting into practice some of the thoughts he had on bicycle design and geometry. His thinking was simple - design something that just rides right. No need for suspension, keep it simple and let the frame and fork do the job of taking care of you. The vision worked and after years of constant tweaking and evolution, we arrive at the range of frames and forks and handlebars of today.
You might think you need a 180mm full suspension bke in order to keep up - simple fact is you don't. Think rigid bikes are for masochists and nutters? You could be right - want to find out?
