I’ve not ridden one of Max’s bikes, but he did some work on my Legend earlier this month. We talked for a bit when I picked up my frame, and I was impressed that he is very knowledgeable regarding fit, frame design and construction techniques. He also took time to show me his shop; Max is very friendly, gracious and generous with his time.

I'll chime in here, seemingly extraneously, with yet more praise for Max's abilities. The Hampsten Strada Bianca he built for me is a truly incredible bicycle that has hardly seen more than a few days off at a time since I took delivery, and has had zero issues.

I'll be honest, I keep getting 333fab and No.22 confused. Can we move past the numbers thing and go back to putting someone's name on the downtube?
There was a thread not too long ago, either here or across the hall, where someone pointed out how Ti framebuilders self-select for obsessive perfectionism: People who suck at welding Ti don't even get out of the basement; people who are just adequate at welding Ti can't build a sustainable career. All that's left are the welders whose work is exquisite: Max, Kent, Carl, Kelly, Bill, maybe a dozen other pros... |

Max is great. Super nice guy and easy to work with, even if you're not local. We did all of the work on mine over the phone and a lot of emails. Very happy with the result.
Check out mine here.

I can name quite a few steel builders who have the same obsessive perfectionism. Ever seen a Glen Erickson bike? But those guys get to fix their mistakes with filler and paint. |
