I ride a Bleriot and I am well above 240. At one point I asked Sheldon about
weight and one of the bikes I was buying. He said it was not a problem and I
have not found it to be a problem. I never ride my road bikes "off road" and I
guess I must ride "light." It is also true that I do not do mega miles or ride
fast. I would do the AHH. Jim D. Massachusetts

It's probably a requirement of their job to do it but I think Grant and the
rest of the folks at Rivendell are pretty conservative when assigning weight
limits to their bikes. I know form reading Scott Cutshall (aka: Large Fella on
a Bike)'s blog that he was riding an Atlantis when he weighed in the
neighborhood of 500 pounds. He did end-up replacing it with a custom because it
was too noodley for him but he was 500 pounds! I bet the risks associated with
riding an AHH at 240 pounds would be extremely minimal.
