Stuck between a baller price and a baller bike. Ive heard good things about Marino but ive also heard some pretty bad things. Things that a more expinsive build would not have (ex. bent head tube). I cant get past the price. I also thinking about Ferrum and i love their bike but its gonna be like 900$ then Marino. Is it worth spending the extra money or should i save the money, go with the Marino and get nice components.
Everyone I know who actually has a Marino is happy with it. I have 2 hardrails and was considering an FS. Ferrum does have a really close design to what I would have made but it’s not exactly what I would want. Once you get a custom it’s really hard to ride a generic design made for a size range and not you.
