The MAX frame is ready for the seat stays. But I wanted to show some pictures of the MAX tubeset beside an OS tubeset. The set on the right is the MAX set and the set on the left is a PegoRichie (Spirit for Lugs) set. Pay particular note to the ends of the tubes which shows the ovalization and also compare the chainstays. The MAX chainstays are a monster 6 mm taller on the long axis of the oval compared to the 16x30 mm oval chainstay in the Sprit set.
And here is the fork for this bike. The fork blades dwarf a standard fork blade. The crown is a sweet Walter straight blade crown for MAX blades.
More later...

Excited that you have the blog going again.
thanks dude!
I remember seeing these on the older Eddy Merckx MX Leader frames and thinking, "Damn, that is a frame for a real man."
The fork is really a thing of beauty.
that rig is gonna draw some stares! keep the blog rolling, man. diggin' watching your work progress! steve.
Wicked sweet, someday I'd love a MAX tubeset bike. Mainly because my name is Max Cooper. It'll be a while though cuz I have a Ron Cooper that is the greatest bike I've ever known.. aah dreaming, a geometric replica of my Cooper out of MAX..
Great work!
