It looks to be, perhaps, a Super Lemans. Notice, though, that the rear triangle is chromed but the fork doesn't appear to be.

This one should have had decals that read 'pass,' because it has it...

Jehovah's Witness, that's huge! At your size, a 24 pound bike is just going to flex. I'm not sure there's much you can do, short of a custom frame.

Specialized Hardrock

Here is a Chromoly rigid Specialized Hardrock that I found curbside with a "free" sign on it. It looks like it was well used, but I should be able to get it functional for a minimum outlay of cash...
