I am the same weight and just LOVE the ride of my 62cm Sam on 44mm Compass
treads.

Dave S asked why I would recommend a Hillborne or Hilsen over a Roadini.
I recommended that because in your OP you said you recently lost 150
pounds, and that you now weigh 260. A 260 pound person who was recently a
410 pound human sounds to me like it would not be a bad idea getting a 1 to
If you aren't wed to wheelsize you should also think about the frame angles.
Me, I'd look at what's available in fat 650b rubber.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Indeed the Fargo and Troll are for sale.
Bill I am curious why you suggested the Sam or AHH instead of the Roadini, as I
am starting to think that 33's are a little small for a wide man..even

I agree with the keep Jones and Bomba...
I owned a 56 Bomba alongside my 60 Saluki for over a year and was always
surprised at how similar they felt. Honestly if set up the same I'd say
handling was the same. The Saluki never felt noodly even when I was up at
around 255lbs and the Bomba never
I'm 230, was 255, and wouldn't worry at all about breaking a Roadeo. I tend not
to bash over stuff, though. I'm with everyone else: keep the Jones and
Bombadil, add a road-oriented bike.

Also agreeing with Jay, but the roadish bike should be a Sam or a Hilsen,
in my opinion.

All the more reason to keep the Jones, in my view. You'd have to talk to Riv
about tolerances. I'm 6'5" and 265, and in that context, the Sam is not a burly
bike. Grant advised me that it would be just fine as a road bike but less
suited to trail riding and loaded touring. It's a great road bike
Thanks for the input. One thing to throw into the mix is that I am 6'3 and
260..even w losing a third of my former self.so not sure if I am going
to break things.

Having owned a Fargo set up with drops and more or less roadlike gearing,
and a Ram, and a Sam, I would say:
Sell the Fargo.
Keep the Bombadil! (I've not owned one, but I know the Riv feel.)
Sell the Troll.
Keep the Jones (I'm saying this only because of the 100% favorable reports;

Good evening, my name is Dave and I have a problem, which it appears that
many others here do as well! I am reviewing my stable and find that I have
ended up building four of essentially the same bike.first, a Gen 1
