Misanth_rope Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 ok. I'm just thinking of beginning some street-trials. Let me use this topic to ask: are there any options more? what 24 frame would you advice to neeeewbie who has almost 90 kg and 1,90 m ??

isitafox Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 All depends on how much you want to spend, I'd happily recommend an Onza Zoot as that's what I started street with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wait a couple of weeks you can buy my inspired fourplay frame if you want? That's what I started on and I found it to be perfect!

isitafox Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Was assuming you had ordered a Marino in which case a few weeks would be a bit optimistic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James281098 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Why have you had problems with ordering a marino? I know it takes a couple go weeks but is it that bad? :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Can be hit and miss, I'm pretty sure he ships them in bulk so if a frame is ready it waits until there are a few more ready. Not sure if this saves money or not but that is what happened to one I had off him, he finished it then I didn't hear anything for a few weeks when he shipped it. Had a second frame off him not long after though which was shipped pretty promptly and flew through customs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James281098 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Would it take over two months? Getting me worried now as I'm pretty inpatient haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Insomnia posted this a couple of days ago about his Marino. insomnia Frame done since 1 month. still waiting... I don't know how long it took to build it. More than two weeks though. Ordering a custom frame shouldn't be a 2 week job though. I don't think it matters how long it takes as long as there is good communication between the customer and builder and I think Marino fails pretty badly at that.

James281098 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I messaged him asking some questions and it took two days to reply which I didn't find to bad but once you have ordered a frame does he then slow down on communication abit ?

CalopS Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Messaging Insomnia to ask might be a good idea. I've never ordered from him. Just going of experiences of people I know. It just seems a bit hit and miss like Dave said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James281098 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 So people do eventually get their frame but it takes a while to sum it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic3vil Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 From what Im experienced it took time to arrive but It was worth it, came exactly as I wanted with some interesting features like integrated 135mm headtube, heat-treated and custom gusset. I have my frame for about 7 months so far. And its holding up great. The heat-treatment makes it a bit sturdy with not to much flex which was my main concern regarding steel frames. Its holding up nose dives and whips without twists or cracks so far, I check it regularly. I've cracked 2 high-end aluminium frames in about 7/8 months during a tough periods of riding so I'm always checking my frames. Its the only input I can give on Marino frames so far. Here's a link to my bike: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/182824-my-marino-24-streettrials/ The geo is similar to yours: - 995mm WB - 375mm CS - 75º HTa - 72º STa - 25mm BB+ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James281098 Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Looking at marinos I wondered this for a while, do they come with +20 Brahe mounts as standard like an inspired or would I need adaptors for a 180mm disc? Nice bike by the way Edited January 15, 2014 by James281098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic3vil Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) You can ask whatever set up you would like I guess. But I would go for standard ISO 160mm so that you change to whatever setup you want. Edited January 15, 2014 by Chaotic3vil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misanth_rope Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you wait a couple of weeks you can buy my inspired fourplay frame if you want? That's what I started on and I found it to be perfect! Heh... I wanted an entire bike. New... And Inspired seems so...ordinary (except new arcade frame, of course). That's why I asked if there is something more to choose. Saw a vid of a german tall guy riding Omen... Seems quite tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
