Wouldn't it be much easier just to be on the safe side and purchase a frame that you know for certain does not possess such a weight limit?
The Misprint in the Fuji Manual was 300 rider + 30 Luggage : 285 total. It was a totally unrealistic total. The rider can be 300 but everything can only be 285. They accidentally reprinted the high performance total to the general purpose total.
