Where are you located? There's a tiny chance someone has a Jones near you... you're welcome to test ride my 25" Plus model, if you're near Central Ohio.
Regarding hub standards, the older QR Jones uses a 142mm through axle *front* disc spaced hub on the front fork. Good luck finding one of those anywhere, aside from Jones and Paul.
