I am new to the world of cycling. I have been pushing around my old mountain bike on slicks for a few weeks now and have decided to purchase a road bike. I am 6'1" and 240lb (185cm/109kg).
My question is as follows: What kind of bike should I buy that will safely support my weight? Is this a silly question given that most riders seem to be an easy 25% lighter then me? Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
