Aha!,. Another nail in the coffin I fear!. I will go and have another look. I am still left wondering how the word 'Maxim' fits into this as I couldn't find much on the 'net for anything with that name. It's been a quite busy day, so will have to go out and compare the various fittings...

Thanks for fast reply much appreciated. Interesting about the forks and I will do some more checking. Can I ask what was also different about the frame tubing please? Two of these are 'ovalled' which I thought Colnago's were too?? I presume that yours didn't have the word 'Maxim' on the...

Hi, I just had another look at the Forum and see that you had a Contago Maxim last year, and wonder if I could ask what your Frame number might have been please? I sent in a message recently regarding trying to identify if the bike I just bought is, in fact, a Colnago Maxim, but no replies yet...

Last shot here of the DeoreDX levers

Have taken some shots (will see how to attach them here)- not tried to clean anything yet, but very keen to know what this machine may be please? Richard

PS: Does the frame number seem at all reasonable for a Colnago?

Yes indeed! I will brave the snow showers and get some shots of it. Richard

- - - just re-read what I wrote - Yes, it's Colnago, not Contago!! My dyslexia is catching up with me!! Richard

Hallo, I realize that the Post I have just been reading was from a long. long way back, but in the hope that you are still involved with the Retrobike site, I wonder if I might just trouble you with a query please? I have just purchased what I think (hope!) is an early 1990's Contago Maxim...

Hallo, I have just bought a rather 'plain' MTB which has the only identification of its Maker by the front forks having the word deep in the paint showing "MAXIM O/S" In trying to make an identification, I have seen on the 'net references to Colnago machines which had versions called Maxim...

Well! - thank you all for the info and that seems to clear things up from my limited perspective! Time to clean the whole thing up and get riding to see what it may be like. Got to finish a Dawes first, which I spotted at a local car boot last Summer and took pity on. Ride safely all, Richard

Thanks to 'My teenage self' for the reply and info. As a more 'current bike' ignoramous (I used to be so keen back in the late 50's and 60's with a Claud Butler and a Cenelli! Yeah, yeah, that dates me!, but still active in my late 70's) I am quite keen to know what particular parts on my...

Hi all, I have just purchased an older 'TEAM SARACEN' 18-speed 'Traverse' which the modern Company are unable to date - so suggested this site to se what you may think please? It has an Alloy 60/61 Frame and Suntour air suspended Forks...
