The 275 lb. weight limit scares me a bit. About a year ago I weighed around 275-280. I've lost 40-45 lbs. and weigh around 230-235 these days. I'm wanting to add some longer rides to my workout routine. The guy at Sun Cycling that was recommending the Scott CR 1 Team said that at my present weight there should be no problem riding a carbon frame, but I'm still a little skittish on pulling the trigger, although I will absolutely have to try riding one.

bobthib, I might have to listen to alanknm, I don't know if I could convince my wife to allow me to keep it inside.
