Great buy Daverro!
I know the book says ‘change to 1 1/8” head tube in April 1991’, but I’m pretty sure that didn’t include the climbMax. I’ve seen three or four climbMax frames dated by Paul as 1992 that were all still 1” and rear u-brake.
That looks to be a lovely purchase... enjoy!

Re: Re:
But on page 114 Paul says that frame B001 was stamped July '90, which make more sense regarding the contract with K-bike. I own 3 b frames definetly built 1990.

Also says switched to 1 1/8" April 1991, is this one 1 1/8"
if so you are correct there, not a climbMax.

OK, so i measured the diameter of the horrible quill stem that is on at the moment and its 25,4mm/1". So that makes it not a climbMax and either a Sovereign or Catalyst from what you are telling me? I found this post which if accurate points to an early 90s Catalyst viewtopic.php?f=78&t=378293&start=10. But i still wonder between that and Sovereign. Do we know of any actual confirmed differences between the two that i could look for?
