Time for a new bike. A few years ago I probably weighed over 400lbs (scale only went to 375). I am still huge but at 280 I feel like a new man
My old red bike is Bridgestone RB-1 with S&S Couplers. It is outfitted with a Dura-Ace groupset 3x7 gearing. Those are Phil Wood 36 hole hubs and Velocity Deep V rims. This has been an awesome bike and it has held up to the load of carrying me all these years.
Now it is time for a new bike. I wanted something lighter. I travel (pre-Covid) at least 100 nights a year so S&S couplers are a must. This bike is an EBay find, a Dean Titanium and I am building it with SRAM AXS Force/Red 1x12. I am also replacing the carbon Alpha Q fork with a custom steel fork so I can put a Tarus low-rider rack on it.
A local shop is building the wheels so I hope to ride be able to ride it this weekend!
