Hey everyone,
I've searched on the net for this but seen no real answer, apart from a Halfrauds comment which I don't trust. P.s. I'm buying the bike second hand.
I'm 6"2 and range from 100 - 110 kg and I am scared that I may be too much for the bike. Could anyone put me at rest?
The 2010 model is slightly different, it is a T700 Carbon Monocoque frame as apposed to the 2011 Carbon Monocoque (no T700 )
Thanks!

If you mean the comment near the bottom of this page:
http://answers.halfords.com/answers/402 ... ion=115567
then can I ask why you don't trust it?
They clearly state that all bikes are tested with riders up to 18 stone (252 lb, 114 kg).0 -
Because I can't find this information anywhere else but there, so either my searching is bad or he knows something I don't0

It would be good enough for me I think. The reply comes from halfords web team and is a consistent response that they give out to their customers who ask questions about weight limits:
