Matt24. Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 I’ve always had a hankering for another 26” steel bike - had a history with Pashleys and Leesons. From what I can see Dominic Raab has had a handle in some new bikes a 24” and 26” steel bike. I can’t seem to find much out about them though - anyone know anymore about the venture?

Mark W Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 The frames look quite Marino-y to me? Not sure if they're just some Marino frames with some different branding, sold on through Dominik? May be totally wrong on that though... That's mainly coming from this photo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Nah, can't be a Marino, that photo is all wrong. It'd be more like this. I jest... Just looks like another blatant direct copy of a certain premium brand, but with catalogue dropouts? I'm not sure the Marino ones are that neat. Edit: Looks like Mark's right: "Handgeschweisst von Marino Bikes in Peru" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Good to know that Dominik, @Ali C and @ben_travis all have viable modelling career options open to them with DFS once they hang their bikes up for good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally laughed out loud at this. definitely similar to my Marino, drop outs are identical with the built in bolts for chain tension adjustment.

To be fair the second photo was me for just over 9 months haha, literally conceived and had a child before the order arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I hoped they were made somewhere else ... :-( Is there any street/trial 26" steel frame using a decent tubing set? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
