My first "good" bike was a Fuji Sportif with shimano 105 STI shifters and derailleurs with the rest being Oval concepts house brand stuff. I was 330lbs when I started riding that bike and the most impressive thing is that the Vera Corsa rims it came with held up to my ******ery. 5 years later I still ride them occasionally and I have yet to break a spoke or do any repairs other than routine truing.
