thanks! that really helped! i think ive decided to go with a all black frame and silver rear triangle. ill just get black marzocchi fork and get silver decals.
Why do I feel like I should be offended?
Lol you shouldn't it helped me see that most of the colors i thought would go good together actually wouldnt! forgot to say how sick your bike is!
Thanks.
And if there's a color combo you like don't let an algorithm stop you. The world needs more wild colored bikes!
So moving on from color, how is the quality of Marino? Should i just spend that money on a nice hard tail or what? Im worried that for the price it might be cheaply welded. Theres got to be a reason its so cheap right?
Mine is fine. Attention to detail isn’t great. The swing arm interferes with the chain guide. Tubing was overheated on one side during welding so I have a slight twist in my headtube. I had to replace shock hardware. I had some extra gussets welded because I’m riding at nearly 230. No deal breakers. It’s certainly nice enough to justify the price. I think if you have reservations a hardtail is always a solid buy. There are a huge selection at a reasonable price. I was a big fan of my pipedream moxie. I only sold because I’ve reached the experience (age) that I don’t recover as quickly from a hardtail ride anymore.

Thanks for your comment. I think i may go with a Pipedream Full Moxie. More expensive but i know what im getting.

It’a great choice. It’s what I based my marinos geo on. Pipedream were great to deal with and very transparent on timeline. I have nothing but glowing things to say about my pipedream ownership. The only real question is, are you awesome enough to rock pink, cuz it looks damn good.
Yeah the pink looks amazing! Im also looking at the stanton switchback but im confused on the price. When it says no alloy rear end what does that mean? the price seems to good to be true at only 1008 pounds.

I think it really means no rear end. not entirely useful.

why would they sell that then? i think it means a full steel frame
I've heard a range of opinions amd experiences with Ferrum's leverage curve. You could check out Cotic, too. Now's a pretty good time to buy a bike from the UK. The pound was at $1.45 when I bought my Starling, it's down to $1.18 now. I would have saved $500 if I had waited until now to order (not that I had any idea that's the direction the exchamge would move). Plus a lot of British companies include VAT in their list price, so that's often 20% you get to knock off the price right off the bat.
