[SIZE= medium]I am a 45 year old male rider with weight issues (5’7â€coming down from >250lbs.)[/SIZE]
[SIZE= medium]I have averaged more than 1500 miles of road riding per year over the last 5 years on my Fuji Absolute 1.0, an awesome flat-bar road bike. I need some advice on buying a new road machine. Do you know of any particular brands, models, materials or parts of road bikes made for an ass-kicking fat guy like me. I would also like to be able to ride some gravel/smooth single-track. Further, I don’t think I can spend more than $2000. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. [/SIZE]
