Apollo16

agree ...fitness point ...shed approx 9kg's on the Titan...trying to keep the wheels turning ...difficult on 9-5 work week... thought perhaps 275 would be more forgiving on Saturday morning ride ... making it through the weekend with serious leg break not funny at all. Thanks for the advice guys... will be working harder on fitness... "you can't put a limit on anything ..."

Started cycling a few years back with basic Raleigh entry level MTB. Last year decide to get into a more serious level and picked up a TITAN SPORT 29R. My legs failed after abt 30km on dirt with the Titan...mission completing 42km. Realized weight does play a major factor. :-| Considering a 650B now ...looked at Merida BIG 7 300 and Giant Talon 1..trying not to break the piggy B on this one. any thoughts on decent 27" @ this price bracket?
