The Giant Roam has a suspension fork, doesn't it? I know a number of the larger riders here counsel against those forks or if the bike has one, to lock it out. You might look at hybrids without a suspension. Maybe someone who knows more about suspension forks than I do could chime in.

Most of the larger riders mention that it isn't so much the frame that is the issue at higher weights, but with the wheels.
