• i have seen simliar tubing with Fm-1, i was suggesting that koga have used max in the past
    this example is on the market, looks max esque, and has the fm-1 decal


  • Yes, but seems that the MAX ones also had MAX forks and stays, while the look-a-likes were FM-1 and alu forks... Still hard to say, but I couldn't believe they would be so cheap to use MAX and label it as FM-1.

  • I don't know if "be so cheap" is the right thing
    Colnago did some shit with tange decals, arguably to make the brand more appealing to the Jap market, I have a super pui ( wicked little whip, had a few fast laps round Regents park, the first I hung on a fellas wheel, he was proper sweating when we stopped at lights, but I digress)
    i have seen the exact same super pui ( fucking purple) with Columbus tube decal, so, re Colnago, they may have just used dif decals for marketing porpoises, the romantic in me would like to believe Koga used max but decaled with fm-1 to be true to Jap heritage, wasn't the factory in Holland?
