>>1639072Sorry if you see my post in "BQT" I did not see this thread.
>Budget: $1200 with tax.
>Body description: I am 5"10' and weigh 280 lbs.
>Biking environment:I would like to do pavement trails, city street and some off-road biking.
>Biking reason:I want to lose some weight, get active and eating better. Plus, I want to see the world. I've been a hermit all my life. The last time I went biking was before I was a teenager. I will be 32 this year.
I live in Indiana and there's one popular bike store in my area and they are booked til Fall/October for many of their bike models. Trying to find one that I like, let alone that fits me, is the hardest part.
>Additional information:I went to a few LBS and they told me that I would be a "large" frame for bikes. However, being 280 lbs, I've read that spokes don't matter until you get into the 300+ lbs area. Is this true? I don't want the tires to break down or anything to break in a month.
>Bicycles considering:Specialized Roll
Trek Verve 3 disc
Specialized Sirius 4.0
Would these bikes support me?
