Re: Maxy Fasty - I think of the M-F as a JB Green cut down to 584, but mine weigh 340-350 gm, and I'd think they should be lighter than a JB if they had the same construction.
For a nice rolling, not-too-expensive 28, I like the Vittoria Rubino Pro a bit better than the Roly Poly. Haven't ridden the Challenge, though.
