Entry/exit points for internals are rough and the cable guides are a bit dodgy

Hopefully, the bike will ride nicely after all the thought you put into the geometry, but the level of finish seems disappointing for a custom-built frame, as @Tom13 found with his. I guess it could be tidied up and mudguard eyelets brazed on if you ever needed to get a respray in the future.

you get what you pay for, and a custom frame for marino money is outrageously cheap. I have no idea how he brings the cost down so much. If i charged what he does to build a frame id make about 35p and hour.

Indeed
In this case I’d even go as far as saying you get way more than you pay for.
Baffled by where the margins are. He must be buying cromor by the kilometre and as far as I can see, headtubes, bb shells, disc mounts, dropouts etc are CNC machined in-house
