Locked Up: HATE Jim Bundy Track by John Prolly, on Flickr

re: the lowski, isn't megatube the new name for MAX DTs?

doesn't matter anyway the track ends ruin the whole frame

Werd, got to have some good fat track ends on there.

wow Lovely renevans frame!

It's a Kenevans, made by Ken Evans.

re: the lowski, isn't megatube the new name for MAX DTs?

Don't think so, it looks a lot bigger in diameter than a MAX downtube.

Those megatubes come in all different kinds of shapes and alloys. Most of them are labeled as Nivacrom for Zona. Max is drawn from Nivacrom as well.

this thread has forced me to order some max forks...

Where from?

Rychtarski (sp?) 1" threadless steerer, straight blade, mudguard mounts, clearance for 28c plus mudguards or 32 w/o. Basically the same as these (one of my favorite forum bikes), but in black

in my research I also found out they do max forks with disc brake mounts which I was mighty tempted by but decided against on aesthetic, and slight worry, reasons. would max fork blades be able to take disc brake forces?

aaaannnd, just received and email - apparently it's already built and ready for paint tomorrow?!

prize for the fastest order of 'custom' forks goes to......

how much did you pay?

Won't have been Rychtarski-I waited 2 weeks for a reply to be told that a pair of threadless Max forks would be $500. trololol...

They have been brilliantly communicative for me so far, I enquired last night, got a reply this morning, and have exchanged 20 emails throughout the day and have been told they're made, but I'll update once they hopefully arrive. It seems a little too fast, but paid by paypal so have no worries. I assume they already had a set made by chance to my specs, or just added mudguard mounts to an existing pair, neither of which options bother me.

did you pay 500 dorrar though!?

Won't have been Rychtarski-I waited 2 weeks for a reply to be told that a pair of threadless Max forks would be $500. trololol...

different Rychtarski.

no, I did not pay 500 dorrah. if I had 500 dorrah I would obviously buy an arrospok from horatio (?) at midnight

He's more responsive at around 3am, always refer to him on the third person when in conversation, as "Captain Hoser"

^ waiting to recieve that last frame, though I suspect it's not MAX at all.

does all the best max frames come from down under?

Poland!

nah, lightyears behind
