The Kona Hoss is designed with heavyweight riders in mind

Cycleogical in Dublin stock them. It's within your budget too. There's also a Deluxe version:

Glad somebody else mentioned the Hoss first, I've recommended it a few times already. It does seem to be aimed at this exact market.

Where are you based? There are a few more Kona delaers dotted around the country.
