Bike Weight

Hi Fellas,

Since I got my GT aggressor a few weeks ago a friend of mine also wants to get one but he is concerned about how much weight it can hold, he is about 6'2 and weighs close to 260 pounds ( ex football player ) Should he be okay on this bike? he is planning on heading down to the bike shop with me next time I go to look at the bike.

I assume he would be okay, I'm 6'1 and 208 and I don't have a problem with the bike

Any tips would be great.

Jeremy

well jeremy, here are some tips:

buy low and sell high. never fry bacon without a shirt on. don't wrestle a 300 lb viking nude in a field of cactus.

as for your bike question,

don't worry about being "too heavy" on a bike, it can handle it. the bike isn't going to break on you (or your friend). seriously.
