Isn't it just the MAX OR tubeset? Quite a few frame builders used that on their MTBs (Pinarello Maxim, Kona explosif etc...) I didn't know it was that much heavier.
@Scilly.Suffolk I kinda agree. I'm eyeing up a bargain on lbc atm but I'm not quite sure whether it's proper steel max or the max shaped altec. I asked the seller if he could test it with a magnet but he didn't reply yet.
Sig_Arlecchino-
Does it have cool paint? That's the most important bit

I have one on the attic, will strip it and tell you what the frame weight is. ;-)

Best way to see if it is steel or aluminum is to look at the dropouts. Steel dropouts are much more subtle than aluminum. Works quite well even for bad pics and pics taken from a distance.

There was also a 5 ton weighing Max shaped mtb-tubing (used by Colnago for their Maxim bikes). :-)
