Luke Rainbird Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Why get another if the reasoning behind the Marino was to try different geo, Ben? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) I just remembered I did a CAD drawing of a 24" a while ago, so I stuck in the geo you've proposed and this is what comes out (obviously with a taller bar/stem, I'm only 5'8": Another idea to get a bit more clearance: Edited April 29, 2012 by RobinJI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) https://vimeo.com/33423644 watched that and have to ask: why not an inspired geo frame with a longer toptube,maybe even a longer fork to gain height(marino will make it the same headangle),and 120 headtube with a few stackers?thats the only thing i see thats got need for corrections geowise. i did the same,ordered a frame with 1000/+25/71,5°(pure street frame at this time) and built in a trials fork as i got sick of the high frontend. now its got 1000/+20/73,5° and rides great for me. if you go for a maybe 435mm street fork it could be more comfy for you,and cause its custom you can take the headangle into account until its built Edited April 30, 2012 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
