Can't think of a catchy name, so have just been calling it the Marino 130. Ordered in August 2019 & finally built mid January, it was a long process of ordering/manufacturing/delivery/building, but i'm glad I did it. Couple small things I wish I changed - more travel (why I went 130mm i'm not actually sure), better bottle mounting options (can't fit one in the frame, even though there are mounts), & an additional -10mm BB drop. Everything else I am absolutely happy with, welds are good, built 100% to the spec I provided, with a few changes over the process.
Rides very aggressively, the harder you push it the more it gives back.. still climbs 'aight, if not a little slow in tight corners. Definitely held back by suspension travel & not geometry, i'm thinking I might take out the angleset and pull it back to 64deg HA.
