did you say 105kg? steer clear of the top end lightweight carbon creations

if my conversion is correct 235lbs = ~105kg.

I think you are much too heavy for any of the weatherweight top of the range carbon frames. BTW I have Time and a Trek Madone. On Time Translink they max out at 86kg rider weight. On regular seat-post I know they do handle your weight but I dont know how well. I am only 150# (~68kg). If I were you I would do some research on solid stiff frames to support your own weight.

I know that Trek Madone and Specialized Roubaix have no rider weight limits and I know riders in 100-120kg who own them. I would get professionally fitted to see what geometry would work better and then pick a rock-solid frame and wheels to support your 100-110kg mass. Seriously. I dont think Look and Time are designed for riders over 200# no matter what the shops say. Perhaps a full Ti Serotta may be a better choice for you, if geometry fits. And solid wheels.
