If you want a touring bike get one. Particularly at your weight it is a racing bike. (Racing bikes are built for anorexics). All around the best bike there is. Buy a really expensive good one. Buying a lot of bikes is a dead end. I woke up one day and realized I had 4 bikes with LX level gear mixed with some no name. 3 main tubes butted, etc... What is the fun with that. Even the most expensive bike is pretty cheap compared to what people pay for phones.
