I'm 6'3 and about 22/23 Stone. As a kid I was never off my bike but I haven't ridden in years.
I want to try and get down to a healthier size and with a nice little trail that follows an old train track in spitting distance of my house I was looking to get back on my bike.
I've hit a few stumbling blocks in that I can't seem to find bikes that have recommended rider weights close to my weight.
A lot of the information i've read on the internet recommends bikes made specifically for people of my weight but most are incredibly expensive and out of my price range.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a mountain bike that can support my weight but is a little on the cheaper side. I wasn't really looking to pay more than £300 (I know you get what you pay for but I really can't stretch much further.)
Thanks in advances.
Regards,
Torvix.
