i have had nothing but compliments to my marino frame and the way it rides, i had nothing but great service from mr marino (if a little slow but i want stuff next day but it was worth every second of the wait)
i then decided to remove the v-brake tabs and add a disc mount by jaff bikes
very good service and good communication and the welding is very nice , BUUUT the disc tab was welded upside down and was not the only one!!!
his work is good but he needs to watch the small details this problem is easily sorted but is a pain some times....
Yah the its not ment to be fun atall,i like slidey conditions but what i heard was it was just dangerous, but see how the weather looks during the week, im on for street id need to try get a trail bike if we went to glen tress
Had a 24" rear wheel sitting in the house looking lonely sooo i built this up around it!!
Finished it earlier and hope to get it to the skatepark
the geo is
wb - 1015
bb - +20
cs - 370
ha - 74
feels really good for the carpark test
Im amazed at the quality of the frame and how light the bike is
new rear wheel added
bonz hub on trialtech sl and a standard tube(did have a dh tube before) feels crazy light
Stunning hub
higher rise stem too feels a bit better but i think its more the length
still to get the final weight but feels good
bike feels really good just now with the standard stem but got the higher rise one now so see how that feels
and new rear wheel so the diet has started
Jambo Bring it on!!
to be honest i dont know how much changing the stem will do! im running the trialtech high rise bars so the longer taller stem is prob very similar to what i have right now
