depending on your height keep an eye out for an older trek or specialized I see them locally for 150 or so. they will have a coil fork in most cases. at your weight an air fork tops out at 220. if you were buying a new bike id recommend a roscoe or stache because both bikes have plus tires gives you more comfort without dealing with a full suspension ( has the same issues with shock weight ) but you can get a better bike than what you get at walmart if you buy used. look on youtube for suggestions on what to look for in a used bike. you can find an absolutely wrecked bike if you dont know what to look for.

ps one of my riding friends is 235 he wound up buying a new roscoe 7 pretty nice and comfortable for him his previous bike was a marlin but uncomfortable.
