Woody, i'm sure it was a typo mate but i think you meant Ultramax. Only picking up on it in case someone trys to find out more by googling it. To the best of my recollection, they were the first hollow OPC and bloody lovely.

Post by: SaMAlex on January 11, 2008, 10:50 PM: I worked in a bike shop that had Landar Hollow OPCs. They came in a box with a clear lid and fake velvet lining (and a landar sticker). I think the box was probably stronger than the cranks!
