Do not see any real information on the Blue Max Plateau EX - touring/hybrid bicycle in this old thread.
I found one here in Las Vegas, all the grease/lubricant was dried and everything needed cleaning and bearings were replaced. Changed out rotten rim strip with cloth, new tubes, and recent take off 700x32 tires.
Did a short ride yesterday, to check its rideability. This bicycle is geared so low I had to keep it in the 42 chain ring to ride, appears this bicycle would be @ home fully loaded for stealth camping/touring or climbing vertical mountains.
Would like to know the seatpost particulars, as I broke the seatpost bolt trying to tighten a slipping saddle. I still can not tighten the replacement properly. Saddle slowly sinks approximately an inch every 15 miles.
This is the first non Road bicycle I have ridden since 2010, the longer wheel base, curved fork with a straight handlebar, combined with the 700x32 larger tires and low speed drive train did not enamor my bicycle ride comfort for this bicycle. I purchased this bicycle as a Grocery getter, yes, ride to store chain-up bicycle purchase grocery and bring them home on a sturdy bicycle.
Seems it will accomplish the task of hauling groceries on a yet to be installed rear rack, but if this bicycle has any value, maybe that is not its proper role as a knowledgeable bicycle thief might decide it is free money temporally tied to a bicycle rack. Any real thoughts about this bicycle brand with a great Maltese cross logo
