Default Re: weight on bikes

I sold one of my bikes to a hefty guy and he ran it through every bump and pot hole he could find it seemed. The frame broke right where the seat post runs through the two smaller curved tubes (cruiser style frame). If you use a diamond type frame, you will have more resistance to breaking.
