Yes , there are bikes that can handle this weight . but not from Walmart . What I meant was the big box bikes were meant to handle riders under 150 lbs . A Stumpy compared to a Vortex FS is like comparing an 88 ' Datsun to a 16 ' Ford F 150 superduty . No comparison . Although I will say that I rode FS for 10 years including Scalpels , Epics and Schwinns , switched to a rigid 29 er in 2011 and have never looked back . My steel , rigid 29 er is more fun than any other bike I have owned , it costs waaaaay less and is far more durable . Glad I made the switch . <| sep |> image needs a Gorn <| sep |> Went to a camp called kill bear . What do ya know a bear comes and proceeds to fuck our campsite up <| sep |> Is that even possible ?
