Try to find A good bike shop that knows how to fit you to the type of bicycle you want to ride.Lots of good info on the web.
I'm 6'3" about 230lb and like to ride about 40 to 50 miles rides on the road about 3 or 4 times A week.And I ride my single speed or hybrid around town.My favorite bikes are CF(Scott) and aluminum(Orbea) for my road bikes.And my single speed is steel.Have A Ti bicycle that I bought A few months ago,but still building it up.I do not worry about my weight on light bikes.My Giant TCR is over 12 years old and is about 15 or 16 lbs.Never A problem with any of my light frames.
