I have a Grandis Prestige (not Max tubing) with all the panto and that groovy seat cluster lug. It rides extraordinarily well, particularly on big downhills. I took it to the Pyrenees for the Etape a couple of years ago and it screamed down the mountains feeling very stable. Overtook a ton of carbon bikes on the ups too :¬)
