I am 305 and LBS didn't want to sell me a road bike offered to sell me a comfort I laugh and said goodbye. I already bought two fitness bikes from him. Was a great mechanic lousy customer service he just went out of business. I bought a used road bike. My next will be a touring bike. If I make my goals I am going push the button. Looking at Milwaukee bikes, built by Bens Cycle. Just a pipe dream for now.
