http://www.supersizedcycles.com/
who say they make bikes for heavy (and tall) people, with products that will support up to 550lbs... most are built to hold 500lbs, varies from product to product, some less expensive rated to somewhat less, but still 375lbs+ ...
From this blog they've been going since 2006
