Space Horse for Clydesdales?

Any bulky riders on Space Horses? I'm 6'3", 270ish, wondering how you're finding it for frame flex and durability.

I had a ridding buddy that was in your size range on a Space Horse and he loved that bike, never heard any complaints the 2+ years we rode together before he moved. I'm 6'1" and rollercoaster with my weight, but generally in the 250 range and my Surly CrossCheck is probably my most solid feeling bike, although my vintage tourers and mountain bikes are about the same really. My only noticeably flexy bike is a 1980 Raleigh Competition.

That's good to hear. I see the Space Horse recommended occasionally for heavy riders, and All-City says they're rated to 300 lbs, but I haven't been able to find many of us bulkier sorts talking about their opinions.
