Weight-wise I'm 6' and 155 now and probably will drop a few pounds once spring comes on, so staying under or very slightly above 200 lbs. shouldn't be a problem. I'd reckon my goals are:
-pretty fast crossing, at least in unpopulated areas
-comfortable in the sense of a bike that fits and a tent that keeps me dry enough
-cheap enough, but not so cheap that I'll end up spending more to get out of a jam in the middle of nowhere
