Columbus Max Appreciation

Where?

Pedal room, its in greece, I almost bought it before, about a year ago . They guy asked me for $500 posted, +apollo happened to be in greece at the time and I asked him to PM him to see if he'd do it cheaper to collect it and I think he tried to charge him more!

Psst.

It's 'mother lode.'

I have got a Columbus Max frame with 128.5 mm rear spacing. Is it save to put a 130 mm wheel in this frame?

Yes.

Wrong thread? :)

Forks at least are Max aren't they? I'm crap at recognising frame tubing though.

Forks are MAX indeed, the rest is Reynolds if I am correct.

Hi

Can anyone tell me if this frame made of max tubes?
Down tube looks like max by the top tube is not for sure...

quite sure the toptube isnt max, the dt and st seem to be as well as chainstays and bb lug

not sure about seatstays

max tt changes diameter when viewed from the side just like the other tubes

hahaa

Deserves to be a forum project

I would like to add my gf's max fork to the archive...

0° rake, smooth and curved blades...
Maybe they are similar to the ones on the bike Gaston has posted..

I'm currently in discussions with the seller about this frame and forks. :)

0° rake

pretty sure they aren't

I was referring to Jetski's post re fork crown p20.
You are absolutely right. Rake is probably 45mm. What I meant was: The rake is obtained by bending the fork blades, as the crown is 0° rake (no angle) an straight blade fork will have the rake offset within the crown angle. I am not sure of the correct term here.

Any luck in the end?

^ really nice

Still talking. I'm guessing he doesn't use the internet much as there's always a few days between replies.
