Felt F70, 260lb rider
After much deliberation and searching, I've decided I want a '05 Felt F70 (notwithstanding the problems I may have with actually getting it). Too much risk buying used on Ebay without even seeing the bike to be worth saving a couple hundred of my hard earned dollars, and with the positive feedback on the Felt product on this site it seems like a great bike for the cash. I'm heading to the lbs in the morning. I am not small- 6'2 260 (down from 300). Will my weight be a problem with this bike (carbon seat stays)? Any input is appreciated. Rex

My dad rides a Felt F70 with the carbon stays - he weighed 250 when he started. (200 now, what a stud.) He never had any problems - hope this helps.

you won't have a problem, no weight limit on the felt frames from what i've heard.
