I'm on the right side of your scale (220 pounds now that I'm putting on the winter insulation), but I still think Deep-V's are overkill. They're too narrow to mount a decent-width tire. In your case, TC, a 35mm width tire is the absolute minimum I'd ride on on the roads around Independance. (Smooth roads, but still some areas of chipseal.) A 700x35C tire would work best on a Velocity Synergy or Chukker rim- 5mm wider than the Fusion, Aero or Aerohead.
