now I'm looking for a other bike. I figure I'll use the rock hopper for if I lose enough weight to get back on the off road trails. Looking for something i can rude on the great towpaths around me and eventually some roads. interested in "as specialized call them on there Web site", an adventure & gravel bike. Something like a diverge. Or the looks of that type of bike
bottom line is, am I just too fat for something like that? I've just begun research.
I ride a Diverge and started when I was about 300 lbs. Great bike. Honestly the deciding factor when I bought it was that you could fit wider tires than a Roubaix. I would think that most bikes that can fit wider tires would be candidates, after that it's budget and appeal.
