    Just my 2cents here but with the research I have done, I don't believe there are any bike frames out there that have weight restrictions. I think its the components that become a problem with added (excess) weight. Like wheels/tires. And as Sadie stated, forks, etc.

    I can tell you that from one bike shop to the next, I have heard different things. One LBS stated that Orbea was not recommended for clydesdale riders, but Orbea themselves stated they have no weight restrictions on the frame. Another LBS thought the Orbea would be just fine with the proper components.

    So... my point? I think the bike frame could be just about any you want, just make sure of the added components.
