Mine's a 17 year old Specialized Stumpjumper hardtail. Largest frame size they made. Now slap on a pair of old steel bar ends, NiMH L&M Solo, PB Freddy HCs with extra long mudflaps, a toolkit, a pump, a couple blinkies, and Voila! 35+ pounds before counting water bottles in the mix.
I've been losing weight, too. I'm sorta stuck on a plateau at 245 for the last couple weeks, down from 262 at the start of the year. I'm aiming for the upper 220s.
