Bikes: Schwinn Empire XL

The other day when I went to the bank I also picked up a 110 lbs. of coins. It was for the job. So the bike had my 170 lbs. on it and 110 lbs. on coins on it. At 290 lb. load I did not like the ride of the bike. The frame flexed to much. So if your a XXL or XXXL shirt size I feel this bike is not for you.

I had to ride across some bricks laid in the road for the bank. And the frame flexed way to much. I feel the frame could handle up to 225 lbs. tops. After that I would not say get a steel frame MTB. After all this is a Road bike frame. I would have said this, the other day but was just to pissed about the drive through thing.
