• Bought another Max frame for a neo retro project. The paintjob looks quite ugly but it’s a full max set with matching forks and the price was good. The geometry is a bit odd: 54c-t with a 55c-c top tube. 55 is my preferred length for the tt but 54 for the st is a bit short. I‘m thinking about either a budget option: tiagra 4700. With the 10 speed casette, I could use a cheap pair of used handbuilt wheels for a traditional look. The second option would be 105 or sram rival with something along the lines of mavic aksium.

  • Nice, I also have a JJ Max Prestige. From my bit of research i did I think they were made by Tecnotrat in Italy and rebranded... Geometry doesn’t sound that odd, guess it’ll put you in a slightly more aggressive position? Quite typical for a race frame :)!

  • DIBS if you sell? :D

  • That’s really nice. Low top tube is my choice and that’s my preferred geometry, so I’m tempted to call second dibs! Where do you keep finding stuff like this?
