On a related note: Are Marinoni bikes custom? I always thought they were, but the site seems to suggest that they are not.
New Marinonis are custom geometry and paint. They have a suggested standard geometry but he'll change it for pretty much the same price. I've met a couple of people who have gotten road and track bikes built recently and in both cases they had custom geometry and paint. For example, the track bike I saw was "compact" geometry with a sloping top tube which is defintely not on the standard frame. Also, it was a bit slacker in the front end for street riding. Both of those bikes were so nice goddamn. $700ish is amazing for semi-custom!
