Here is how the Maximum Roadster has been developing. Ceramic bottom bracket is a noticeable improvement. I got it by accident while testing many crank configurations for another bike. I ended up using the inexpensive crank, with high end chainrings, and top of the line bearings. Practical.
Great tires, and that skinny Stans front rim. Manitou air fork is excellent – quick and light action, it was inexpensive but it is merely – reasonably lightweight.
Weighs just under 25 pounds. Very versatile bike, fast nimble tough. Gets a lot of use.
