6'4" 380lbs Back in the saddle again!
First off I would like to thank all of you who commented on my previous post! I ordered a Gravity G29 SS and could not be happier. I have put around 50 miles on it the last few days and I feel it was a great deal for $350. The frame feels very solid and the wheels seem suprisingly strong. The pedals sent with it were junk and I changed the saddle to save my taint but everything else included with the bike is very manageable for a fitness/urban road warrior. The 33t chainring is going to have to be changed soon but even at my current fitness level I was able to climb some pretty challenging long hills. I would also like to switch to a road tire and eventually upgrade the headset, stem, bars and brakes if I were to go off road. All in all so far it has been a great ride and a freeing experience from the Schwinn stationary bike. Ohio winters suck, I can't wait for spring. 100 lbs down, 150 more to go!

Good deal, it has rained steady here the past two days in my part of Ohio, darn shame for rain to ruin a few 50+ F days in Ohio :-(.

I feel u, the day I received my new steed it was 20°, that didn't stop me from at least taking it around the block a few times after I assembled it lol. I rode in that rain and in the 50 mph wind gusts today. Its hard to say no when it just sits there staring at me.
