Be honest and tell customers what the limitations of the bike are. However, that won't happen for the reason illustrated here. DeRosa says that the frame has a 175 pound weight limit, and folks say that they don't want a bike with a weight limit. So, they go buy from a company who doesn't tell their customers those things.
