  1. I have no Idea how much Danny Mac is paid to use DMR moto diggers, but it's not enough. That is all.
  2. Yea I always liked them, long as they're on a wide rim they're fine, yea I wanna get 1 on the back, I just want proper tread but nothing too heavy, not a big Maxxis fan.
  3. Diggers are just too weak, I got a pinch today, from a 360 bunnyhop on the flat.....nice & light but useless if you weigh more than 6 stone lol. Buy my rt's anytime you like Just find me a tioga factory dh 2.3 lol.
  4. I think Slicks are meh, got 2 dmr moto rt's & I'd swap them anyday for something more dh/mtb, they're too stiff/dead, no feel & no bounce, they're only nice when you're rolling on smooth ground. Is that your permanent stem choice?

  6. No option you choose will add cost to the frame, IT IS A SET PRICE.

    New Marino 24"

    Never really looked at because, it all looks the same as deng to me, none of it really interests me. I just tried my Pashleys out & due to my unusual tastes they feel much better for my frame, so I think my inspired forks are for sale
  11. Nope, all 4130 cro mo frames are $250 (£165 ish) doesn't matter what your specifications are. Do people not go on the site & read?

    Yea trust me I hate disc brakes (still got my xtr v, hoping) but today's market pretty much forces you to use one, old school forks are just too short, the inspired are perfect really at 410mm, welding brake bosses on was obviously too much hassle! lol.
  13. They're actually about £165 + postage

    New Marino 24"

    Lol cheers Matt. Ares I wasn't home until the post office was shut yesterday so could do nothing about postage, even though my refund won't be with me for a week, I'll still post the tensioner back tomorrow. If you'd checked the goods in the first place this could have been avoided.
  15. Cheers again! Yea let us know if you come ride here, weather's getting less scummy.

    New Marino 24"

    Eclat bmx seat/post combo turned up! Can't recommend these enough for a marino owner, 25.4 stumpy post so it'll slide straight in a Marino! Perfect It can have an old mech for now while I sort a suitable tensioner, any ideas for an 18t sprocket? Tightest low profile one possible. Just waiting for front brake & some weather so I can black the forks up! Stem height feels perfect after a quick play outside! Barely enough steerer tube...

    New Marino 24"

    Yeah must be one of the fastest turn arounds! The 26" is still mostly built, they just share forks brakes & cranks, I have a feeling I'm gonna prefer this!

    New Marino 24"

    It's either use my rare 20th anniversary magura booster which happens to be red & a perfect fit...or spend £20 quid for the sake of changing colour lol. I love my 'ard guards I have 4 spare so that's all I'll ever use. The forks...I wish they were black too, but the black ones were £30 extra and I just couldn't bring myself to do it, £120 was quite enough for a pair of forks, I might just do them myself. Yea Yea seat's on the way lol. No one's supposed to like my geo But cheers! lol, I have a tensioner "set back" so I just wanna get the b*****d finished & ride it!! This year's goal is to make a great vid with a great camera man!
  19. No problem. And the tits in my avatar? If i knew who she was, I wouldn't be sitting here on trials forum...lol
  20. ^^ express is from the point of posting, which I've learned is 9-10 days, I'd assume the cheap postage could take anything up to 28. 5 weeks was just the time his took for the entire build process for his bike, he has busy times & not so busy times, he has other things going on & will probably have the odd emergency too, like I said that's from drawing it and getting the ok from you at every stage, cutting the tubes for your geo, getting all the tubes in the jigs making sure everything's straight, building it and painting it, then posting it. I gave him my geo and I had the frame about 17 days later, I guess I got lucky
  21. About £160 for the double butted 4130 frames. With express shipping all in works out about £220
  22. I think all frame sizes are the same cost, definitely go for the 4130 cro mo stuff though, it'll be stronger & weigh up to a pound less.
  23. Exactly What he said ^^ Marino is legit, the whole process is manual labour from the drawings to the paint drying, he also makes ALOT of frames for locals there as well as his side projects etc, I agree the odd email wouldn't go amiss but you've just gotta be patient. He is a top bloke but I think he probably just gets behind now & then, nothing to worry about. Mine turned up on sat & was one of the batch on facebook about to be delivered.
