Brettoll Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Can anyone help me... Sent over the final payment for my Marino frame with postal instructions last week to Marino. I saw that the money has been collected but I have heard nothing from Marino about whether the frame has been posted or anything. I can appreciate he must be a busy man but a quick email wouldn't go a miss. Thanks, Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 He posted a picture on FB with loads of frames ready to be sent off. One of them might be yours? And your probably right about him being busy. Not much need for a topic, was there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it just seems a little strange that he picked up the money but I emailed him a few times about postage etc so I have an idea when it will arrive but no response. I will have a look on his fb page and wait. Cheers Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think you guys need to chill a bit. Don't forget that he makes frames for all sorts of riders, from all over the place! By the looks of his Facebook updates he's got himself a pretty big name. Remember that they're all hand-made, not produced on a massive machine that can throw a batch out in a few hours... I can understand that it doesn't take much to send an email or two, but that'll mean he's taking his time away from actually building everyone's frames!

LEON Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Exactly What he said ^^ Marino is legit, the whole process is manual labour from the drawings to the paint drying, he also makes ALOT of frames for locals there as well as his side projects etc, I agree the odd email wouldn't go amiss but you've just gotta be patient. He is a top bloke but I think he probably just gets behind now & then, nothing to worry about. Mine turned up on sat & was one of the batch on facebook about to be delivered.

onza1 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 How much does a 24" frame usually cost on average from Marino? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 I think all frame sizes are the same cost, definitely go for the 4130 cro mo stuff though, it'll be stronger & weigh up to a pound less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza1 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just looking how much are they in £s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) About £160 for the double butted 4130 frames. With express shipping all in works out about £220 Edited February 1, 2011 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Totals about £250 with express shipping Yeah I know I am pretty patient, just after a few weeks silence I just thought a courtesy email wouldn't go a miss. Only a suggestion Edited February 1, 2011 by Brettoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza1 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not to bad a price really, why do you have express shipping if it takes 5 weeks to come? Leon whos boobs are they on your pic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 The express shipping means it only takes 1-2 weeks to arrive rather than a month, and as it takes time to build means you get it that little bit quicker. The rest of the time is design and build from scratch as it takes the time to get everything ready and he has a few to build.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) ^^ express is from the point of posting, which I've learned is 9-10 days, I'd assume the cheap postage could take anything up to 28. 5 weeks was just the time his took for the entire build process for his bike, he has busy times & not so busy times, he has other things going on & will probably have the odd emergency too, like I said that's from drawing it and getting the ok from you at every stage, cutting the tubes for your geo, getting all the tubes in the jigs making sure everything's straight, building it and painting it, then posting it. I gave him my geo and I had the frame about 17 days later, I guess I got lucky Edited February 1, 2011 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah that made it clearer, cheers Leon brains given up working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
