Paperclip Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Marino frame, forks and headset. Freshly welded, heat treated and finished The first of the parts arrived little bit's and bats that seem to be always really cheap on chain reaction cycles. The majority of the parts are coming from Trials addict who I have been lucky enough to have been on the team for the last 2 years now. The hubs, spokes, nipples, rear cog, lockring, tyres, chain, adaptor and rotor are all from Ben. The rims are from Sponge. Laced my wheels up this morning and ran them over on the truing stand and pretty happy with how the colours came out in the end, for the last year or more I have had purple hubs, silver spokes on purple nipples and thought that I'd quite like to mix things up slightly so opted for black and blue spoke/nipple combo. The parts left to get for the build now are, Saddle, Pair of cranks from DMAN, Pair of Arcade bars, Pair of brake pads (I will be using my spare m810 with new rotor also). Ain't finished totally yet but here's it so far.... Edited June 4, 2015 by Paperclip 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Was that heat-treated by being thrown in a bonfire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 You saying the headangle is 0.5 steeper than the Arcade. That's brave going to 75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Mine's 75, it's really not a huge difference. Arcade has slight differences too, bb height, forks are 5mm shorter, and have 5mm less offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 You saying the headangle is 0.5 steeper than the Arcade. That's brave going to 75. I'm sure there's a few people repping 75, I think Ben Rowlands was on 75.5 at one point. I'll be moving up to 74 though so don't worry, it'll be more like a longer console, my current geo is, 1015 wb +20 bb 73.5 ha 367 cs 670 reach so it should work out at 1012 wb +25 bb 74 ha 371 cs 674 reach The forks will be 30 rake like my current ones only with no disc tabs and I also wanted the dropouts to not be machined away like the current ones (for looks only).

Mark W Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Wait, wait, wait, wait. You mean I had to listen to you chatting shit about the BB height on the Arcade being wrong for as long as I did then on your own frame you make it the same height? You f**ker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You f**ker Ha pretty much, it's kinda the only thing I might regret about the frame but it's also a tad longer so I felt that might make it feel about right (for me). Going back from the Inspired to my older geo felt good for some things but also felt like a step back on other's so I'm hoping the slight change's make for the best of both. I'm now just toying with what stem to run with the Arcade bars that is niggling me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I've always loved just how clean Marino keeps his work area Looking forward to seeing this though, quite like the colour. Kind of similar to a colour Matthew62 had on one of his old builds, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I really like and get along with the tyres, they're slightly narrower than the Contis but not in a negative way. Their pretty clean with the lack of logos also.

LEON Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I guess this photo is better than your usual efforts, but I think you could probably still do better. Look up tutorials on Youtube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
