scottz; I am 6'5" (197cm), 260lbs (118kg)... and 61 years old. Not a racer, just a recreational cyclist at this point. The 747 is a general purpose big man's bicycle. I suppose you could race it, if you wanted to (but it's not nearly the lightest bike out there), or set it up for touring or commuting, if you want to do that. The bike comes equipped with braze-ons for bottle cages (2), and fenders and/or racks. I think you could as easily tour on this bike as any other. Just my $0.02USD.
