Regarding "weight limits," a guy in my club is a very powerful rider with barrel chest and legs like tree trunks.
He weights well over 200 pounds. On a steep climb about five years ago he twisted the cogs off of his 9- speed Dura-Ace hub. Destroyed the cassette or at least the spider with the last few cogs. Without a doubt he is one touch son of a gun. He rides an old Colnago from about 1978. To look at the bike, you would think that he was way under served by the frame: skinny tubes, et cetera. And he never does anything to his bike unless it breaks first. See above. But he just keeps going and going. Steel, lugs and good brazing: That's the end all of it all. He's the second rider from left in this picture: http://www.rochesterbicyclingclub.org/ Archival Note: Next year they will put up a new picture, and he might not be the second guy from the left.
