I've currently got a couple of frames in the queue with Marino. One for me and one for a mate. I've tried before, but there were issues with the chainstay length and the gearbox, but I've thought of something this time around that should hopefully address that.
I've gone with something not quite as long as the Katipo and shorter chainstay, and mullet.
I was quoted 14 weeks which makes it about mid March, but time will tell...

With this one, tried to modernize it a little for him with a bit of a steeper seat angle and boost in the rear, apart from that, it's almost identical to his old bike, which is what he wanted.
