Marino sounds like a solid, genuine honest bloke whos making dirt cheap frames in a shed, to custom geo for pennys. The only mistake hes made is sponsering Damon. Not ment in an offensive way but why he would want his frames battered the shit out of going big is a mystery to me. These frames and majoritivly made for older riders who want their own geo for a fraction of the price of a new frame which is the wrong geo for them. And for £90 don't care too much wether or not it snaps within the year. The prime example of this being Leon Neil, a beasty old school rider who wants an old school BB drop, short stays as a personal touch. Hes got one, but isnt going to smash the shit out of it in the same way that Damon does. Hes too niche to sponser someone like that, would have been far better sponsering someone like (no ass licking intended at all) infact all the names I list would ass lick, but a smooth, good hearted honest street rider. Not a TGS batterer who will ride it into walls snap it then moan.
