6' 4" and I fluctuate between 210 & 220. My stable consists of a Kona Fire Mountain set up for touring, an old Cilo, Columbus tubed road bike, a Scattante R550, and a Surly Pacer that I'm building up. I've been riding regularly since I was 15 when I started commuting the ten miles back and forth to school. Then I was a messenger for seven years where I shrunk down to 175lbs. Now that I'm in Los Angeles I don't ride as often as when I lived in Seattle and there certainly aren't as many hills to keep me in shape.
As far as parts reliability I find I'm hardest on Seatposts and wheels. Which I think comes from too much seated climbing and bunny hopping potholes.
Great thread BTW.
