I currently weigh 284 and I ride both a Hunqapillar (and have done loaded overnights with it with no issues at all) and an Atlantis, which I only load for commuting (spare clothes and laptop). I run 50mm tires on the Hunqapillar and am now running 38mm Barlow Pass on the Atlantis for a superb quality ride.
I'm reluctant to ride my Homer and my Betty at this weight, although I've been told not to worry about it and just ride them. When I do, I do not load them other than with the basic tool/tube kit, maybe a sweater and a camera in addition to the mandatory water bottle. If you are planning to get a Rivendell for your current weight, then I'd recommend getting the Hunqapillar if you are going to also load it for overnight camping trips. Otherwise, for non-loaded riding/commuting, I think that you could also consider the Atlantis and the Sam. Or, you can place an order for a Clem which I think should not present a problem either.
