Ill use this at the track mostly and not so much on the roads. I'm 170lb and it's going on an old Pinarello Columbus steel frame. Should be fine.
That rider and bike information might have been more useful if given right up front. A rider of moderate weight riding on the track using a relatively robust steel frame allows some latitude that for a heavy rider on a rough road using a flea-weight aluminum frame might be ill advised.

The "attitude" is because you specifically asked about violating an industry safety standard and they pointed out, perhaps a bit graphically, possible bad outcomes.
