Pretty much everything below the TT is spot on.

Looking forward to the build.

^^^ hopefully its not getting those wheels ..

I remember someone posting a link to a french builder who built with max and was dirt cheap. Can anyone else remember and point me in the right direction?

someone posted a link to a rychtarski ebay listing before and mentioned an email address for a cheaper rate on the frames. any ideas?

Landshark Columbus Max for sale :

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

want so bad

Hi,
this is my first post here on lfgss! I just finished my build, and thought it might be appreciated here... only things I still want to change are the bottle cages (the ones on there now are old and ugly) and a nicer stem (once I have decided on a length).
thanks for looking!

My max rychtarski. Has 22mm veloflex at front. Around 5mm of clearance now, which is sufficient.

Quite interested in why you got it built that tight?

Pendle has about that clearance with a 21 I think and it's just not practical for anything.

the pendle is pactical for track use :)

yowwwwwch

give me to it

My Olmo with new pics :

Only with 19c, not allowed to ride anything larger with the clearance round here.

That's that shit! This thing rules.

I am looking for a genuine MAX fork crown for a while now, does anyone know where I could find one, or someone who might be willing to sell one to me?

It's got to be the smooth type (0° angle for curved blades) that you see on most image in this thread.

Thanks in advance for your help! (PM please)

Sure? All Rychtarskis I see have max crowns of taiwanese origin

Columbus MAX crown overview:

Genuine MAX, lugged (often with panto, 0° rake):

Genuine MAX, smooth (usually 0° rake, I guess any visually straight-bladed forks built with this crown are actually curved blades which are curved just very slightly):

Long Shen (Taiwan) MAX, lugged (usually with 7° rake, also available as wide CX version):

Long Shen (Taiwan) MAX, smooth (usually with 7° rake):

Samson (Japan) MAX, smooth (0° rake, with ring that (I guess) can be smoothed if desired):

Venom MAX, smooth (not sure where this comes from, just saw it once here on the forum):

Custom made MAX:

Columbus AIR (similar to Genuine MAX smooth, but other blades and different teardrop design)

These are Rycharski Max forks...and also for sells if you're that way inclined
