Goals, lifestyle,

I would agree that the bike should have no problem holding you, but the wheels at at least 32 spokes will mean less potential for spoke breakage and help the rims stay straight. I'm 6'0" 312lb, and...

I was hooked by the pacific blue, it may show the dust more, but it’s too pretty to pass up. I also decided on 700c rather than 650B, mostly because it will see largely road and very well groomed...

I think that any gearing beyond my current 46/16 is an advantage. I've ordered the bike, I'm very excited. By late June when it arrives, I should also weigh less, so win/win. I'll share my...
