Marin doesn’t offer as many of their bikes in a frame-only format as Kona does, but where they do the pricing is quite reasonable, I think.
For example a custom Marinster Truck (**[El Roy](https://www.marinbikes.com/ca/bikes/2022-el-roy-frame-kit-3)**) build starts with a frame (includes headset, post clamp, axle) for $880 CAD. Pretty competitive in the aggressive steel hardtail category.
