I have ridden the road version and loved it. Very stiff and solid feeling. I'm not as big as you, though (6'0", 165#). I do know an older guy who is probably a little over 200#s who has one and swears by it, though.

I didn't even realize they made it as a SS...that's sweet. Seems logical for a travel bike when you don't want to have to fuss with anything.
