I recently fell back under the spell of the roadie.  My trusty '93 
Cannondale mountain bike never was much for helping me shed weight, but 
took me many places in its tenure.  It'll still see use, but I'm 
currently turning the big ring and doing that aerobic thing and dropping 
back down to ~175.  Doing the MTB thing I usually hovered around 190.
