Martin Direske Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm currently on a Marino.

Aidan97 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 The green frame looks amazing, also whats your back brake like and how much was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Direske Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 The green frame looks amazing, also whats your back brake like and how much was it? It actually turned out quite good in comparison to what usually happens when I paint something on my own It's not even lacquer, it's graffity Well, I'ver never used hydraulic brakes again since I've first used a Vee with a trialsy setup Current brake performance can be found here. It's not the price but the fact that some of those parts are hard to get.. it took some time to get all components I desired (especially the XTR booster. Check Ebay frequently is the only chance you have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyota200x Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 What happened to the Inspired frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Direske Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I just sold it due to financial issues. It was just stupid to abuse a 300€ frame - in case I would have broken it I would have been in a crisis lol. So I sold it and picked up the Marino from a friend of mine for free. Win-Win as it feels just as good apart from the "prestige" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
