When I returned to cycling in the late 90's I was #365 . My wife bought me a BikeE AT, over the next two years I dropped #120 riding and dieting. I did have to fix lots of broken spokes and had the rear wheel rebuilt with a stronger rim, no issues after that. The BikeE is not a fast bike, but it is comfortable. The company is out of business and you can find them used on Craigslist.
