[Closed] Too big for a superlight?

I'm thinking of treating myself to a new frame and swapping over the running gear from my Stiffee. Although it's the best bike I've ever had my spine needs a break....not a lot of give in the back end!!

I quite fancy a superlight but at 15 stone am I better off going for a heckler?

Opinions please.

Yes.

The superlight seems really twisty at the back end and i think you would be quite close to the upper weight limit for it โ—

14 1/2 stone XL superlight rider here. Love it. Cant say I notice the back end twisting. I do wonder though if a Heckler would have been more versatile.

I am the 15 stone Heckler rider! ๐Ÿ˜€ And it does everything for me - been to Les Gets and handles my bridle tracks here in Devon....so the Heckler gets my vote!

I loved my Superlight but found it very flexy from the pivot backwards - at *only* 13st here! ๐Ÿ™‚ My Anthem X is a whole lot stiffer.
