I have a [possibly] good deal on an ultimo 2004. (I think, the seller doesn't know a whole lot about bikes) He claims it was paid 3400$ CND in 2004 and is about pristine.. 52 cm (I'm 5'11 so that might be a bit small)

I have yet to try it, or even see it, yet but he has those (low resolutions) pictures of it.




What do you guys think of this bike? And I couldn't find the spec sheet anywhere, any infos would be apreciated.

If you're 5'11" a 52 cm is not going to fit assuming it's top tube is in the 52-53cm range...

Actually, Marinoni sizes their frames differently. A size 52 bike has an effective top tube length of 56cm, my 52 marinoni fits me like a glove and I'm 5'11 as well. They say the 'effective size' of their 52 bike is 56cm...

That said I love my marinoni, it may be on the heavier side but rides like a dream

Marinoni is a 30 year old racing bike company. At one point, they supplied most of the pro racing bikes in Canada, their frames are long on practicality and performance, short on BS.

check the fit carefully. It is a nice bike, $3400 sounds about right for new.

Yeah I'm definetly gonna try the bike before buying. The only thing I'm having issue with is in evaluating it; I can't even find the bike's spec list, or reviews etc. Has anyone ever ridden one?

They are getting rare outside Quebec. Contact the company, they may send you specs or even the precise specs of that frame because they do custom frames.

Good call, I just sent them an email, thanks.

iNewton, how did you make out with the bike?
