I'm reading between the lines here but it seems to me that the chart indicates an old fat guy can ride a bike frame meant for a lighter rider if he is a careful rider, which I am. ( I understand the liability thing too) I have several thousand miles on a glued steel and aluminum frame from a maker in the 80's located in Kent Washington and it still hasn't failed so I'm thinking, I can ride a QB or a Hillborne and not crack it even though I tip the scale at 255 pounds right now. I own several bikes of vintage and more recent production but I really want a nice lugged (do all) frame but especially enjoy riding my derailleurless bike. I am hoping a QB or the soon to be released economy model of the QB which hopefully will have tubing more closer to the Hillborne will work for this old fatty. I'm saving my money!!!
