Well, I only fit Joe's definition of a Clyde when I've been over eating for a week, and wear heavy hiking boots, but this sub-Forum is still a good idea.
Too many bikes and bike products in every price range are designed to suit a 150 pound pro rider, who rides on the smoothest of roads. For those of us who weigh closer to 200 pounds, and ride on roads that look like those in Berlin in 1946,"sturdier" bikes, wheels, and components are essential. As is a good place to discuss which of those components are worthwhile purchases, and which are not.
