A little help please

Guestion number 1. I found a bike in the trees of my parents farm but can not find any info on it, all it has is Pilot on the chain guard, I found Jet pilots which doesnt look like it, I did see one bike on google that was close it was called an AMF roadmaster pilot girls, mine is about the same but no brake system. Just would like info on it.
G2 I am also looking for a bike to fit me i am 6 ft 5 300 and the two bikes i had broke are there any bike to handle weight and not cost more then 200?
Thank you

Question 2: Find a used, 20 year old rigid steel mountain bike from a quality builder, Trek, Specialized, Schwinn, etc. You'll need a 23" frame. There is a $175 Raleigh in the for sale thread, but it is in Seattle.

+1. Go with a used, mid-range ATB. If you're primarily into road riding, just replace the tires with high pressure, semi-slicks. This will make it roll much easier. For riders just getting back into cycling, ATBs have the added advantages of a more upright riding position and very wide gearing..
