brawlo I have so much regarding bike terms to learn
I looked at the talon they all look pretty solid. But, I think I'm going to look for a used bike first, and I don't see any used talons, which is probably a good thing. Also, I'll stay away from carbon until I drop some weight, I really don't want to stress anything. Then I'll get a nice street bike. Thanks for the input!

bigfred WOW that KHS 747 looks amazing, damn you $1500 price tag! I have started looking at used bikes, I actually saw 1 jumbo cannondale, it was scooped up a few hours before I could
I'll definitely be looking for a 36 spoke wheel, these seem to be a very widely accepted must have for a higher weight rider. Thanks for the tip on the even spoke tension, that is one point I didn't know. I will look for a wheelsmith for sure, and Torotonians is what we go by
thanks!
