A L U M I N U S MAXIMUS
taking pre orders in august 2025 for 2nd batch
the AluMax this is my idea of a timeless high performance gravel bike that will retain its value and last decades longer than the carbon options available on the market. Drawing inspiration from the u.p.,crux, mog and Charlie Cunningham --- this small run is what i came up with --- with hopes of seeing them circulate on ebay 30 years from now.
