I think it depends as much on the intended riding as the weight. I'd tend toward 36 spokes front and rear and fat tires if you're pretty much riding on the street. If you want skinnier tires and/or some offroad riding, you might think about 40-spoke wheels. I think the frame it self would be fine, but don't skimp on the wheels. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
