Wouldn't be surprised.  My recently acquired Rockhopper ca. 1990 has
an "MY" serial number.  Which might be Maxway.

With the 700C Hillborne you could easily put the Schwalbe Marathon
Cross tires on with fenders.  Have that setup on a Surly Cross Check
and it can easily ride off road.  Not through a boulder field.  At
least not under my weight.  But it's a good sized, cushy tire with
nice off-road traction, IMO.
