Brian: We've sold a number of OCLVs (TREK carbon bikes) to people as
"sturdy" as yourself, without trouble... but your height could be an issue,
as the largest size is 62cm, and that's measured from the center of the
bottom bracket all the way to the top of the seat collar (which extends a
bit above the top tube).
The main issue will be with tire choice; 23c (the normal stock size) would
be a very bad idea, and even 25c might not be ideal on the rear. But the
frame shouldn't be a problem.
