Even more on that...Columbus made a set of lugs specifically for the Max set. I have used them in a frame. (bad pictures here: http://www.cyclesdeoro.com/Dalescustomframes/C_Blake_Max.htm)

but Eddy apparently didn't like them. He made his own and flipped the top tube end for end, so Merckx Max frames are different from others...
