I got this NOS from fyxo some years back. Unsure of the age. Columbus Max was used in early 90s but that livery does put it later. I’ve seen track bikes with similar paint.

Corsa Extra Max in this version was produced only at the end of 1991 (perhaps at the beginning of 1992 - this is not confirmed), this painting pattern did not appear for the next 5 years... Your frame was certainly painted in the EMC factory and it was definitely modified in the factory (the cable guide for the head tube has been installed since mid 1992). The serial designation should be within C8000-D1500. Beautiful frame, Max is unique...
