aener Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) And about time too. It's been an agonizing six week wait, but she's finally here, and my GOD does she ride nice! Sorry for the not-so-great pictures. Phone isn't good, to say the least. Been at Stoke Plaza for the first ride today, and as far as streety riding is concerned, she's amazing. I can finally bunnyhop! Not sure on TGS yet - but got a fairly strong idea she'll enjoy that too Spec: Frame: Marino - 1010, 350, +70, 71*, 4130 cromoly. 2kg, for those that care. Forks: Trialtech. Bars: Rockman (the 14* sweep version). Stem: TryAll (~170x35 - unsure of model). Front Wheel: Echo TR hub, Trialtech square-holed rim, Kenda K-Rad tyre. Rear Wheel: Oldschool Echo Hub, Monty rim, Maxxis Creepy Crawler tyre. Cranks: Trialtech. Pedals: Superstar Components. BB: Onza. Freewheel: Tensile 96. Bashring: Trialtech Ti Halfring. Chain: KMC 510x Grips: Trialtech Skinnies. Headset: FSA Pig Pro DH. Tubes: Wilko's. Soooooooooooooooooooo happy right now. Finally, a bike that I like, that should be strong enough to hack brakeless Edit: I know everyone says it - but damn... The pictures really suck at the look of the frame. It's raw but lacquered, and the heatstains are lush. Edited November 2, 2011 by aener 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 AWESOMENESSSSSSS! Looks taaasty! Out of interest, why 4 bolt and disc? Just in case Also - if I ever want to sell it, a brakeless mod would be pretty difficult to get rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 I really like burnt out bare metal look Video timeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee congrats on bunnyhops wish i could bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 The bare metal looks absolutely amazing. I've seen a few other Marino's left like that. I dunno if it's the higher concentration of it on the mod (Like around the stays and seat tube) but it just looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Nice, I didn't realise Marino built custom frames... Bet it wasn't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Nice, I didn't realise Marino built custom frames... Bet it wasn't cheap. ~£220 including "express postage". What a waste that was. Normal postage it would've been <£200. Really good value actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
