LOL I was referring to large mountains not large bikes, thank you.Here ya go! You said a larger bike for roads!
Of course, if you are into a real challenge, try this!
Look into cyclocross bikes. Or fitness bikes.
I ride a surly (all steel) cross check. I had changed my tires from cx tires to more pavement ones for commuting. I also added super thick tubes to help fight flats.. It rides like a road bike should only heavy in the good way. It is all about frame geometry and what makes it comfortable for you.
Other brands to check out are:
Salsa
Kona
Fuji ((nice entry level cx bike))
Cannondale (check out the lefty.. Lol )
Specialized (OK mtn bikes)
And giant (one of my faves for mountain bikes and fitness style)

Bikes have come a long way. I used to build my own when I was a kid. Scrounging frames, wheels, cranks, forks and whatever else we could find dumpster diving. I was the master of the Frankenbike. These days there are more choices in bikes than there are quills on a porcupine. From 1 speed bikes to 27 speed bikes and up!
I saw this one and thought it kinda well equipped for the price.
