This is a timely thread for me. I've been considering a Jones Plus. I definitely want a bike that fits 29x3" tires. I was considering the Krampus, but Jeff Jones' designs and fit philosophy really meshes with my experiences. I have a Surly Wednesday fat bike that I bought to ride on the snow, but have been riding everywhere this year. I'm fully sold on the larger wheels and tires for rolling over the sand, mud, roots, and rocks that we have here. The Wednesday has the "long and slack" geometry that the MTB world is going nuts over right now. I love how it rides, so I'm a little concerned with how the Jones is really the opposite with longer chainstays and much lower trail. Fit-wise, I know the Jones would be better, as I run a large offset seatpost and jam the seat back as far as it will go, and wish it went further. I'm also right in the ideal spot for the 24" frame. They still have some older 135mm rear-spaced frames, so if I were to go with the Jones Plus, I'd have to decide between that and the new 148mm rear-spaced frames. My experience with fat bike hubs makes me tend toward being able to use old standard sized parts, but the benefits of the wider rear hub are tangible.
