Thanks. The hardest part was waiting for the frame to get built. :) 4 months isn’t too bad I guess.

Metal Frames / New Marino HT

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to share a photo of my new Marino build. I had them build it with the same geo as a Sour Bikes, Pasta Party. 
The build came in at 25 pounds exactly.

Marino bikes could build you what you want.

I installed a flat top chain upside down and it snapped 6 times during my first ride…. :)

Cyclocross Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Reliable Chinese 1x Gravel Groupset...does it exist?

I bought an Ltwoo GRT 12 speed groupset from Panda Podium and it was really good, no problems, other than probably paying too much. I should have just bought the group from a seller on Ali and paid less.

Good luck!

Component Deals & Selection / Rigid carbon fork for 29er
« on: February 07, 2026, 05:22:56 PM »
Hey, has anyone purchased a rigid carbon fork for 29er lately?  I’m curious if the aliexpress offerings are any good compared to something like the ENVE fork.

Thanks!

I asked Meinier to include a headset and with some swearing I got everything to fit.

Nice looking bike. I did a Meinier Snake build a couple of months ago and it went OK except for that headset nightmare!

I got the GR02 from Tsunami and it’s been pretty solid.

Earlier this year I built up an aluminum gravel bike (Seaboard) from Ali and it’s been great. That’s a great price too.

Decent looking cx bike. I might have to get one too. Any idea on the weight of the bike?

That looks like it but I bought it off of EBay for a bit less.
