well, i am assuming you mean weight and that is a hard to question to answer. it depends on the person really. you know i wouldn't recommend for people that are average height and weigh 275 to be riding a bike aggressively but at the same time look at the owner of fitbikeco robbie morales he probably weighs 250+ and he is an absolute shredder!

I weigh 270

No problem, it's all about your comfort level man. Bikes can handle abuse, look at Robbie Morales and Micah Kranz

shit, rob morales is at least 250lbs but last i saw him was 2 years ago. But when he use to ride at the trails in LI visiting all his friends he would be hitting the biggest sets like bud and bree, those jumps were at least 30ft gaps. His landings had these large thuds at the end but he still got through them fine.

When your too big to ride your 900 pounds.

Anyone can ride, although their comes a limit where weight will affect your skills. But your not past the limit, pluss your all muscle so its all good.

Just get a bigger bike, like 21.5 or bigger top tube, and wider bars, and stronger parts. Since your strong (at least it sounds like it) the weight of the bike won't matter too much.

Make sure you're comfortable, and don't let your looks effect your riding (not saying you do, just stating), and you will do fine. Giv 'er.
