I am 41 years old, 6' and 275#, I have a Giant Cypress DX and it feels perfect for a big guy like me. I have ridden it for the last 2 summers here in New England. I ride to and from work weedays, 14 miles round trip, and a nice long 25 mile round trip on the weekends. I also have a pannier rack and bag on the back and often make a trip to the grocery store for a few groceries. I think it cost about $450.00. I think this bike is awesome. This is a Hybrid/Cross Comfort type bike.
