The only thing with a CC is that it does nothing GREAT.
It does everything well to ok.
It's heavy, at your size the bike without a rack will flex a lot.
put a rack on it and it works ok.
If you use panniers at your size, heel strike maybe a problem.


I have a CC, and it does most all things you could want a bike to do.
It just doesn't do anything really great. It's a trade off for doing so many things ok.

Also, the stock parts that come on the CC STINK, but there again they work, just not well.
replace the brakes, seat, and crank as soon as you can. Better yet build it out the way you want it.

Soma, Kona, Salsa, Van Diesel all make bikes like the CC, with disc brakes. If you want to ride this winter.
The Oger may also be worth a look.
I only have 40,000 miles on mine, and I'm 6'4 so I guess we are close to the same size.
