Hi,

Well, my klein quantum and I got in the all too common auto-bicycle fight,
and of course we lost. So now I am looking for a new ride. I'm 6'7 and
265, and the aluminum was fine except for the road noise. I lust after
carbon fiber but wondered if oclv 120 will hold up under my light weight...
Should I stick with and aluminum Klein or Trek 2300 still, or is there
something else out there that would work. I'm probably working with
$2,000 - $2,500 so not too spendy...

Thanks for any advice.

Brian Nelson
