Manny,
Ha! I never saw the speculation that it would have a third (disc) brake. It
looks really cool, and I I'd like it even more if they put three sets of
rim brakes on it, just for fun. Did you ride the built up sample?

I think I know what you mean about that half-standing position; I often use
it too (or did when I rode more in hilly off road) for sudden torque
increases on inclines that wouldn't let you stand all the way up.
Aside: speaking of hill bikes, favorite riding is rolling hills: not too
steep or long
The reports about the Jones and climbing move it a place higher on the
"want" list*. I'll be interested to hear about others' experience on the
new Rivendell mountain bike too.
I "naturally" stand while climbing; perhaps it's just long habituation, but
I'd not want a bike where you couldn't be
Are these still available?

Very limited, current production and under 100 USD. I use Pauls, 559's, and
old but very clean Mafac Raids which have the best clearance. I've tried
the dia-comps 610 I think, bought them from Riv a while back. They flex a
bit but are usable, I think you can snag a pair cheap if you look
Love that color and the Exage stuff looks cool too.

I used to be bummed that my Ram didn't have fork braze ons for a front rack.
But i ended up using a small Arkel handlebar-mount bag and discovered that I
like having the bag high, with a visible map pocket, better than a low bag
anyway.
I also like the way a handlebar bag lid opens away
Patrick, keep in mind Grant mentions a few times shifting to a higher gear for
better traction (it also makes it easier to ride a smoother line, and easier in
“trough” trails to not whack the pedal into the dirt wall on either side).

Patrick, I kind of HAVE to stand to climb on my Jones, but it's one of the

What does that phrase mean?

How easy is it to stand and climb on this sort of bike designed for
sweep-back bars? Is it easy enough to get your torso forward of the bb and
your shoulders over the head tube?
Or are these bikes designed for sitting and spinning in a low gear?

It doesn't really strike me as a "step through" - it's just a curvy/droopy
dropped top tube that gives more standover clearance. As said earlier, a bit
like a Jones spacecraft in that regard. Either way, I love it.

I rode both when I went to Riv to pick a bike in 2015. I liked the Clem L,

on the Cheviot. The Cheviot handles a bit better and has lovely lugs to
look at. Cheviot has the appearance of being longer, whether or not it
