I've done a lot of searching on here and can't seem to find an appropriate thread, so I though I'd ask for ideas on what kind of road bike might fit me. I';m a 6'1" 230 pound rider. Weight is not as critical as comfort, so I'm looking for bikes with some sort of vibration dampening geometry or whatever I can find to make my ride more comfy. All help appreciated.
