Ben Swales Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 A short article and some photos of Damon's new 24" Marino are now online at TribalZine.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I must say that at the very beginning, those Marino bikes didn't look too promising. But now, at least from those pics the quality looks really good. And with it being a very small business, you know it's going to get even better with every frame they release. Congratulations to the owner of this brand, it could be quite successful in Europe with such a rider promoting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Swales Posted April 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I agree - when they first started appearing, they looked really poor - but I think that was mostly down to the fact that the only full bike photos available were with shoddy parts that made the geo and finish look all wrong. There's been a few nice ones recently though - promising stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I was extremely close to buying one before I managed to get a bit of a bargain on a 24uk (which in turn got me an Inspired), the only thing putting the slightest hesitation in my mind was the welds. Now that's sorted, I wouldn't think twice about buying one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Being 100% honest, that's my favourite video you've ever released Smaller wheels and a steel frame certainly don't seem to be holding you back at all. I assume you went with Marino as you have arranged a deal, as opposed to just using a stock frame with the same geometry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Ha!So how does it feel going from stock to a 24" from the point of a "TGS" rider? I mean most 24" riders are street riders, so loosing 2" of the wheels for them isn't as big of a deal as someone who rides TGS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
