Hey, I am 5'10 and about 150lbs. I was wandering if the 300ex would suit me. I know it has plenty of power and room. I was just wandering if it has reverse....It does doesnt it? And I am wandering if anyone wants to sell me a 300ex or anything similiar....I live in central Il

 

Yes it has reverse. It is enough power for anyone. I am 5'9 and I have plenty of room. About buying a 300ex, check out www.cycletrader.com

 

I would say the 300ex would be perfect for you. And right now there are lots of good deals on 300ex's because everyone wants 400exs and Raptors.
Have fun!
