I've been riding a road bike for about 8 years. I've had 2, but my LeMond Zurich (steel frame) has been my favorite. I was 275 pounds when I began and I'm now 225. My wife has given me the go-ahead to buy a new bike. My budget is $2,500.
Before I make a fool of myself, what material should I be riding at 225 pounds. I love the look of the Trek 5000, but am I too heavy for carbon? What is the right choice?
