He stole the design for the standard Geekhouse lo-pro from another frame builder in the US. Boots (of Icarus Bikes) frequently has to fix the Geekhouses as Marty doesn't understand how strong a frame has to be, and technically isn't a very good builder. And he has had numerous frames returned to him by buyers because they are shit. The original frames were all built by some factory somewhere in the US because he couldn't build. Then most were half built by Boots, and now, maybe now he can finally build is own frames on his own, but I couldn't say for sure either way. His History just doesn't make me think he is a sound frame builder.
And then 2cm to Marty's right or left, in the same Warehouse is Boots who builds Icarus bikes, who trained under Yamaguchi (sp?) and builds full custom builds that are not only structuraly sound but simply devine.
Geekhouse looks like a good custom frame builder, and Marty is good at marketing. But its an illusion, and his reputation in the states, I am told is a lot less positive.
you sir are an absolute cock and are speaking the biggest load of shit i've ever heard on this forum. i've been in contact with marty from geekhouse and have followed them for almost 2 years. i've never ever heard one bad word about him. i've been to boston and spoken to him and lots of others. all his frames are hand built with the utmost care and attention.

I'm a cock?
You just go on a massive rant at me and you call me a cock?Calm the fuck down.
I've been told some worrying stories by people in the US who spend ALOT of time with him. Hearing them, from people I respect makes me not keen on having a geekhouse despite my inital impression (from this forum and you and eyebrows) that they are great. I've mentioned what those worrying stories are. And these are from people who have known Marty for alot longer then two years. I'm not going on a crusade against him or the bikes. If you like yours then thats great. I won't be buying one though.

Isn't this the same one that someone was trying to sell on here a while back? Where the 'chip' in the spoke is actually a gaping hole?

A full vintage track bike went last night BIN £99! Had airlite hubs, charter lea cranks, fiamme milano rims, brooks swallow, and loads of GB bits. Nice lugs too. Will turn out a beauty.
I had a chance to get it but it was too big. It went in minutes. Anyone here get it?
I can't find the link either now.
