Marino. Current situation.

On his site now there are some attractive terms: production time is only 3 weeks and some new cool options.

BUT, I want to know how do matters stand now with 1) Quality (heard about some disgusting cases with f*cked up geo and roughly welded frames) 2) Real production time + delivering time?

A mate of mine ordered one and put his first requests in about 2 weeks ago, and I think it was finished & went in for heat treating just before the weekend.

I wouldn't take the "March 2013" waiting time as the standard, he took on way too much work while waiting for all the new tubes to turn up, we all know that. He has plenty of tubes to go around now & no backlog of orders so it shouldn't be a problem.

Quality wise, my welds are great and I really can't faulty either frame, people have even commented after seeing it in person that the welding is definitely neater than other custom frames. I had my old one for over 2 year and I absolutely hammered that, I treated it very badly & someone else is still riding it today 3 years after it was made, that was just an old model, not one of the new ones with heat treating.

My geo is pretty spot on, rear ends both came up 1mm shorter. The main thing is I know these frames will still be going strong in 2 years time.

Delivery time.....Mine both came express in about 9 days. I wouldn't know about economy but that's out of his hands, if it says 3-4 weeks delivery then I'd allow 28 days

Very happy so far with how myen is coming along . Been keept informed with progress I.e sending pics ect and so far I am very impressed .the pics of weldes look fine to me, I done my home work and asked about to get the info I needed. Just make sure you get all the geo you need ,the old saying " measure twice cut once" will play out better for you. Be patient and good things come to thos who wait.
