Muel Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I asked about a seatless stock frame, he reckoned it would be about 2.3kg, so I didn't bother with it.I'm guessing a 24 would be similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 yeah, he reckoned about that when i was asking. So not a bad weight at all really! Steel frames just ride so well, and for the price you cant go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Worth the extra weight. Steel rides so much nicer than alu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guuuuuuuuu leeeeeeeee Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 why not get an inspired ? yeah steels easier to weld and that but you could order an inspired from tarty and have it within a few days and look cool because you have the same frame as danny mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincsmike09 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 oh so not too hefty then might have to investwould love inspired but for 1/3 price marino sounds better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoolax Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 sorry for digging the old topic, what steel does marino use? 2.4kg is really quite heavy.. even the norco steel frames for 26 goes at 2.1kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he will soon be changing to using chromo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoolax Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 thanks sstein!if will be pretty interesting if its chromo. but i think reynold 853 is more suitable? since theoratically its lighter than chromo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoolax Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Wow, chromo? Thats not going to be very light at all!totally agree. He should consider reynolds 853.. its tought enough for pretty bad abuse, easily weildable if broken and weight its pretty decent too =)btw which brands are still producing steel trial frames, or have a steel trial frames in the last couple of years?i kinda like how steel doesnt flex (as much) =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
