Blitzmo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 This is a frame that Marino made some months ago for a friend, it's got the geo of the Inspired but with no seat tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 The build looks a bit shabby. I'm sure it rides nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 It looks too long for a 24''.But, I do like the tyres with the red around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well the Inspired isn't that short really.Out of interest why build a bike with the same geo as an Inspired but with no seat? I can only imagine its for more traditional trials moves.....so i can only think if thats what you're after get a stock, but if you want something both streety and decent at traditional trials then an Inspired is for you. So if you want that added streety element from your bike, then really quite often you're going to want a seat aswell.Also, on my Inspired when i'm using it for traditional trials i can honestly say the seat has never got in the way, but its nice to have there for other types of riding.....so to me the frame seems like a bit of a silly idea.

eskimo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's cool. I also agree on parts are a bit shoddy. Twisted bb axle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) Frame looks nice and clean, though i have to agree with everyone who replyed here about the shabby looking build. Edited January 8, 2009 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 looks all good, defo a twisted bb axle going on there! not healthy. i imagine its not too easy to get quality affordable trials parts in peru......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzmo Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks for the comments, MarinoBike has some new things for this year.looks all good, defo a twisted bb axle going on there! not healthy. i imagine its not too easy to get quality affordable trials parts in peru.........Yeah, we don't have any shop selling trials parts here and ordering overseas is a bit expensive.

Jason222 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 The one I will build up will look amazing. I'm excited to ride it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It does look a bit shabby, but then not everybody can afford trials specific parts.Nice bike, would love to see how it rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It does look a bit shabby, but then not everybody can afford trials specific parts.Nice bike, would love to see how it rides.I should have really thought of that. I think we UK residents take our way of life for granted far too much.Back in the day when I found it hard to get parts I would have killed for a bike like that.Still think its mingin though.

Davetrials Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It looks too long for a 24''.But, I do like the tyres with the red around them. Panaracer fire xc's are the shittest tyres, there SO hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Panaracer fire xc's are the shittest tyres, there SO hard.Look cool as f**k though I really like that.Would deffinately have one myself - even with the spec.Can't afford a bike though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
