Marino is a legit builder. Based on my n=1 experience, expect to pay about $4-500 and wait 5-6 months to get it.
But expect a more workmanlike burly frame, not a Jan Heine refined thin wall cruiser. They hit my geo right on, but even with relatively skinny tubing (for an mtb) my frame has kind of a heavy ride with a somewhat harsh rear end. Not a lot of compliance here. But at $400ish, I can’t complain.
