You are right, photos posted by others don't even look like heavy weighters. King Termite is the only one who can compete in open big guy contest. Mikabike is probably the strongest contender followed by PWRDbyTRD.

We shouid create a definition of "Clydesdale". 250 is definitely not a heavy hitter. Over 350, maybe? Weight should not be considered relative to the height, we are talking about whole mass and how much it can hurt the whimpy road bikes.

It should be beyond the capacity of the bike was designed for.

Edit: King Termite maybe doesn't look as big as he is in the photo. We should give another look when he is standing up like all others.
