Serotta T-Max 1992

sexy

Beautiful!

Great build!

Looks nice and light?

Thanks!

Unfortunately it's not very light, it is about 11,6 kg.... the wheels are really heavy

Killer build Bigego. Much better than mine. My build was composed from original Vertex parts (cult parts importer) and terribly cheap sh*t to make a complete bike of it for sale. Most of those parts immediately went when I got my hands on it. Some stayed due to lack of time, funds etcetera. Was still enough the win the BOTM Yes, it is a former BOTM winner.

When you dive into dirt with it I recommend using shockboots with the Judys. Judys wear quick without. I hope you will be able to source a 26.8 Ti Syncros post soon.

Of course i studied the "history" of this frame The first photos (beside the ones from Sith) were yours in the german IBC forum (www.mtb-news.de) in the Serotta gallery

And these pics convinced (the last tiny jolt, don't know if it's the right word) me to buy the frameset!

I have to make pics that are as good as yours, mine are WAY too bright!

Shockboots: I only ride it when it's dry outside and i clean it after everytime, so it will be ok... Maybe i install some Reset Blue Seals on it, which are currently fitted onto a Judy XC from '98. But thanks for the hint!

Ah, and one word to the build itself: Beside the Paul Stoplights an Love-Levers there are quite "normal", common parts. The composition does it! I had the luck to have most of it in the shed. My Dad rides since '92 and never sold anything I started '95 and didn't have the money to buy all these lovely parts and frames... Think that's the reason why i still adore all this old stuff, just to catch it up!

The nicest tubeset ever - lovely bike!

great build..

I love Tmaxs.

Mine will soon have a GROOVY HO DOWN fork on it.

It is now 16 years later and I still own this frame, however spent the last weeks fiddling and rebuilding it. Thought to give an update and share it here
Cheers!
