2011 Marnoni Pista: built

I finished building The Marinoni a few days ago. I swapped most of the parts over from my Felt with the exception of a few bits. I'm in love with this thing so far. The ride quality is excellent. It's steel, but lighter than my aluminum felt. The toe overlap is minimal, and the paint and chrome finish is amazing.

A couple reasons why I chose the frame: I wanted a steel frame, and this fit the bill nicely. I had been looking at them for the past 3 years. I always loved the older Marinoni frames and road bikes, so I figured I couldn't lose. You can order direct from them as they are located in Quebec, Canada. When ordering a frame from them, you can choose between a 1 or 2 color paint scheme from any of 38 colors. The logo colors are an option too. For a small extra fee, you can also get a custom fit frame and choose your dimensions. Click HERE for the Marinoni website. I'm VERY happy with my purchase...
