Columbus Max Appreciation

Some updates to my HB. Saddle, seat post, tyres and pedals, really liking the way it turned out

Wow, those pedals!

That's so nice... Love a good Somec. Really want a Dynamic in Minimax at the moment!

I never paid too much attention to Somec but that ticks all of the (my) boxes... Any idea of the year of fabrication?

Hopefully not the „beautiful bottle cages“ box

Ha, I'm not too fussed about the parts, no. But look at that frame! It's lugless. It's got vertical (or semi-vertical) dropouts. It's got some tyre clearance in the forks. They've bothered to paint said forks. All of that combined ain't that common.

Don't think I posted this one on here. Went for a 10 speed Record but will probably put the more era correct 8 speed C Record on it one day...

Thanks mate.

Loving that Wim & love those wheels

Sweet!

Do the black ceramic braking surfaces stay black or do they wear out like alloy?

They wear a bit but that's all within acceptable tolerances: these wheels are at least 15 years old and still not really worn out.
