I think that at your weight you can ride any frame material. Steel shouldn't be a problem but if you go vintage, be sure to look at the tubing. I recall that 35 years ago, the LBS didn't recommend Columbus SL for my weight so I got a frame that was SLX. So there are some lightweight frames that my not be suitable for your weight. See if the manufacturers have a weight limit for their specific frames.
