To the best of my knowledge, Columbus never provided actual weight restrictions. The best I've seen them provide is vague classifications for light, medium or all riders. As previously suggested, it's not just a matter of weight, but also pedaling style and how aggressively you ride. However, if you like the ride of MAX, then you'll probably find EL-OS too flexible unless you buy something like a De Rosa Primato, where the lateral bottom bracket stiffness is augmented by the special shell design.
