Shoot, that ain't nothin'. My wife and I are 450 pounds before we add
any luggage at all, probably 500+ loaded for the weekend. (And she's
just a little girl, too, in case anyone's calculating).
My Centauro has a net maximum recommended load of 212Kg or 465 pounds,
which we regularly use up. I'd be surprised if a loopframe wouldn't
tote this much or a little more if properly fettled (tight steering head
bearings, right fork oil, decent shocks, good wheel bearings, tires
pumped up right).
