i believe so, i would def get a more comfortable seat thought (can be purchased at walmart, target, or online). Good luck on your journey!

You might want to invest in a better air shock or more adjustable rear shock. I am 220 lbs. and it is kinda spongy.

I think it will be fine. Depends what type of riding you're doing though. The front shock doesn't really matter. Your weight is over the rear, which has adjustable rebound. I pretty much torture tested this bike DH'ing which led to it's eventual failure. I wouldn't really recommend riding it the way I did. For XC riding or short commutes you should be alright. Hope this helps!

I was 325 when I purchased the bike and it handled my weight quite well. What I like about it was the fact that you had your back supported the whole time. I would make the assumption that it should be okay for you. The adjustable seat is nice. The only thing that I feel it was missing was an integral fan, but we solved that problem by getting a small 4" clamp on type that we attach to the handles.

No this bike is not too big for you. I am 5'2" and it is not big at all for me. I am sure it would be fine for you.

This bike is very well built and strong. I'm 5'-10", 190 lbs. I have been very satisfied with this bike and I have no complaints.

I don't think that your weight would be an issue with this bike. It is very well built.

No, the frame will be large for you. I am 5'1 and was unable to use the bike comfortably.

I only weigh 160-165 but it feels very solidly built to me. I know that doesn't necessarily answer your question, but this is the most solid feeling bike I have ever personally ridden. Yes, it should last just fine.

I'm 5'7". The frame on this bike is approx. a 16" frame, which is perfect for me. It may be a bit too small for you. For your size I would suggest a bike with a larger frame, say a 19" or so. While the handle bars are adjustable, and the seat is adjustable, the frame would seem very small to you I think.

I'm 5'11" and 150 lbs. I ride mine to the library and such and it's still a comfortable ride height-wise. I think you'll be fine.

Yes, I'm 5'11" and weight 230 lbs. Like everyone , you might want to change the seat and and add a bottle cage, other than that it's a great bike. Have a all Alum schwinn urban crest just like this but cost around 400.00 . Biggest dif is the front shock but rides just like it!

I am 5' 10" and the bike fits fine.There are adjustments in the bike to accommodate your height, but I would be more concerned with weight - the built in shocks are not adjustable and it might be a problem if you are over (in my estimation) 220 lbs.

When I carried it on an airplane in its original box, I had to pay oversize (unexpected) I am about your height and weight, but I bought this bike for my wife. When I tried to ride it, i felt I was over the weight limit and the bike would break at any moment.
