MARINO"THE CUY!" 2013 FULL BUILD PICS ADDED!


FamilyBiker

Recommended Posts

so,guys n girls,i´m bored of waiting for it so i thought i´d show the building progress and see what people think about it.

full bike pics will be added on the day it arrives,to say the least i´m an impatient personality and having a full bicycle workshop at work will get me to build it instantly when its here haha.

geo is 1025/355-370/+50/73°,and marino and me tried to put as much custom into it as possible so the tubing is very thin,a tensioner mount for my selfmade tensioner concept is attached under the right cs,and the letters on the frame are my design,too.

comments are welcome

greets

peter

edit:may i add the fact "cuy" is the spanish word for guinea pig,i found it funny those animals climb rocks more than twice their own body lenght in height,pretty much a goal for a human trials rider to achieve lol.

in peru cuy is the national food,yikes,nother funny fact

edit:today the stuff arrived(well,here in germany you got to go to customs to get it),stoked like hell,tomorrow my boss will see me in the workshop despite i´m off this week!got to build this!

sorry for the fuzzy carpet,its packaging material(i was in de-packing rage lol),and i was to lazy to get the vacuum cleaner out before taking the pic...

edit 2:So,the bikes built up,let me know what you think.

had a quick roll around on it,all i can tell so far is that it sits on the rearwheel for the time of a cigarette,and its bunnyhoppable and spinny.

every measurement is how its meant to be,it ended up 1030/+52/358/ with a 22:17 gear ratio.

only thing i have to manage now is my tensioner(one hole has to be made offset to get to my chainline,didnt think it would be that far out) and the usual adjustments during riding.

pretty happy now!

weight 11,56kg

Interested to see you're tensioner , but you have horizontal drop outs , do you need one?

Marino forks look awful though (in general).

tensioner is pretty much a sheet cut out of a saw blade with a teflon glider and held onto the frame with v-brake spacers for alignment,then.

its needed for me as with the planned gear ratio i have to go a bit forwards with the same chain lenght as before,letting room to change back to 22:16 if 22:17 isnt my bag.

havent ridden a marino fork other than an old mild steel one that was pretty heavy but solid though,i´ll see what its like

yep Y1 possibly :D tey look nice but thats cheating, nothing like home made pie :D

some people can cook delicious meals with stuff from the discounter.

others make their own stuff.

at the end of the day it depends on the cooks skills.

Frame, looks good although I'm not a fan of short seat tubes, but since this is a more trials oriented rig (50+ BB) I guess is alright.

It's pretty obvious that the dropouts are from catalog which I think its awesome to have the possibility to choose dropout design without adding cost and I think if Peter asked for something more custom he wouldn't refuse. I guess there's things more important to the general quality of a custom frame than catalog dropouts, for example metal grade, heat-treatment and welding.

thanks andré,the short seattube thing is basically to have the possibility to cut down the seattube overlap if it turns out so trialsy that a seat is nonsense.

pretty aware of that,its quite over the line between street and trials,towards trials.

edit:i know a seat is nonsense on even a streeet trials bike,but it makes the look complete,you know what i mean though

Could probably do with some spherical seat washers on that chain device a la v brake/avid cps fixings.

this is how its planned

Why wouldn't you just use the bolt through tensioners which are 100% lighter than yours and bash proof?

because its 42g "heavy" and thats with the maggie braze-on on the pic, imo the only lighter thing is a spoke tensioner

edit:its exactly half the weight of the heatsink,haha!

I don't understand why it even needs that tensioner? It has horizontal dropouts?

as said above,to stay variable in options,like say going to 22:17 in gearing,if i dont like it and want the rear brake aligned the same way//same chainstay lenght when going back to 22:16,its no problem.at the second my chain always has slack points due to chainwheel wearing unevenly from pedal kicks,wich i dont like as well

Why not just have vertical dropouts then?

it's like you've taken the disadvantages of each and made them into one O.o

whats the disadvantage of having every possible option??

:blink:

if i´d just get a bigger tyre or another rim i´d be rubbing my tyre on the seat tube or chainstays(cs from 355 to 370mm to cover 2 transmission ratios and 2 tyre sizes without the brake beeing out of the rims range or vice versa),so i can go back a few mm.

its multiple reasons i did this like it is,not a noob in such stuff (bike technician)
