I wish I would not have sold them and still had them today, although I could not ride them at my (6'4" 250ish lbs) size...
One of these days, I'll build one on 24s or 26s.
Find a 22" sized CR-MO 1998 Palomar, those things are undestroyable and will handle you. I have one, running nice and stiff as all of them, it's the third Palomar 98 i have, i rode them all as hard as i was able to and no one broke excepting the first one because of the stem, headset and fork were not original and the adaptation by the previous owner was poor. Try one with 26 rims and beat it up mate.
