What frame for uber-light build?

As for the weight loss. I'm 6'1" and 16 stone and need to shift 3 stone at least to get to my ideal weight. I tried running/jogging but it physically hurts - in both my knees, but shins, and my sides. The cycling won't be as effective, but I enjoy it a lot more and can do it without any pain. Lugging the LTS uphill to work every day should make it more of a workout anyway :lol:

I'm 6', and 6 months ago hit 14 stone. Decided I'd had enough of putting weight on, so got my bike out of the garage and hit the trails. Built it up from 1 or 2 hours a week to now riding Monday, Wednesday and Friday for at least an hour each time, and also a couple of hours on either Saturday or Sunday.
I now weigh 13 stone 8)
As for running, I cant run to save my life.....but cycling, I could do it all day with no problems. Cycling is PERFECT to lose weight, as within a couple of weeks of me starting riding again the weight was dropping off me. Ok, its not falling off now, because I think I've reached a point where its now turning to muscle.
Stick at cycling, its more fun than the torture that is running :wink:
 
I must admit I never enjoyed the running, it just never felt right even though I was reasonably fit after a few months at it. It was always a chore to do it. However it's never a chore to get on a bike, always get a frisson of excitement when I get on it.
 
I cycle everyday , 10 miles , plus extra at week end , and I cant loose the weight .
I hate runing with a passion , but might give it a go .

and i like my food , and drinks . :oops:

Alas i'm not near 6ft :) But that is so true. Cycling to work/home is the best part of the day even through the West End :lol: If i didn't have the bikes. Then id be near 20st and spending money on expensive retro hifi
