Just about any experienced builder who uses some kind of lugless construction will be able to make a good bike for a big rider. Lennard Zinn is famous for big bikes, an obvious choice. http://zinncycles.com/ I also like Land Shark (John Slawta) a very clever one-man shop. http://www.landsharkbicycles.com/ You might also consider a fat-tube aluminum bike, depending on how much you care about weight, stiffness, etc. A big steel bike that is stiff enough for a powerful rider can be pretty heavy. I don't have any aluminum custom builders to recommend though. --Paul |
