Marek is based out in Gargrave rather than Leeds these days, which is a shame because it was super convenient having a guy you pay for bike maintenance in the city centre with Tyskie. Apparently it's working out well for him though.
The frames are lovely, though the paint is often a bit rubbish (we managed to pull paint off the frame simply using parcel tape when packing them up for a tour). My girlfriend (hers pictured) & two of my cycling buddies have them & all loves them though, & they're pretty versatile. She just did eighty miles of gravel on hers up in Kielder Forest on Saturday, squeezing a 32mm GK on the back & 35mm on the front.

New frame arrived today. Columbus Zona tubes and a reynolds Ouzo fork. Still has the questionable lime green spacers and bad bar-tape job from the previous owner, the pink outer cable is growing on me though.
Got most of an Ultegra groupset to go on it, just need some cranks and brakes. I'm tempted to swap out the fork for a straight matte one of some kind. Hadn't heard of Aurelius before but it seems nicely made.
