OK,will have a look into how to do that with the photos. Meanwhile the 'query' certainly seems to have caused some discussion - one person reckons that 'all' Colnago maxims had straight front forks - but there is one on Ebay that has similar 'Curved' forks! So- - ?? Other than that no-one seems to be able to answer the query about Frame Numbers yet - - surely a Key point,one way or another?? Would 'entry level' bikes utilise the DeoreDX levers - were they not expensive back then - they certainly are to buy secondhand now!
One person elsewhere tells me that the frame 'ovality' may be the wrong 'axis' so that will be the next thing to check when I can get back to where the bike is currently stored. Another key point!
No-one has also been able to confirm/deny that the wordnig on the front forks saying 'Maxim', is a possible 'yes' feature or a 'no' one!
All very confusing!!
Thanks Guys, Richard
