Re: Fat Bloke Requires Help

Thanks to you both especially bigoldsideofham.

I am 6ft tall (5ft 11.5 really but 6ft sounds better) and 15 1/2 stone, used to race MTB's and singlespeeds in particular. I have a 48" chest and a 38" waist but still unfit because of the smoking.

This is my first road bike and have no real idea of bike set up for the road, have just gone with the arse high-nose low set up currently. Feels very weird cornering but felt great last night overtaking cars :-) My son was amazed I could keep up with mummy whilst she was driving too. This is my first geared bike for over 6 years too and I have to keep remembering that I can change down!

Thanks again.

p.s, any more advice on bike set up would be a right touch.
