*MacKenzy: Are you familiar with Marino? Are they legit, and is the website and price list up to date? *
Like Eric said. They're legit. Their customer service is excellent, sometimes slow. They're a small company and they build one off batches for other companies such as enforcer (I also wouldn't be surprised if they built frames for bassi or some small batches of crust stuff like the florida man this is 200% speculative). Wait times are definitely a bit on the slower side 6 months is more accurate, they're very thorough with the design mockups before they begin the build - so generally id say a month of correspondence before it even moves into the build queue. I think for a frame and fork shipped to Canada was probably around 700cad (4-500usd seems about right for a frame) which is still cheaper than a surly frame here due to imports. I'd say it's for sure it's Surly quality. I know a few more people that are mid process and its going well getting slightly modified/personalized versions of unavailable frames. I think you can upgrade to nicer and lighter steels, but that wasn't really a concern on my part.
