260 is actually on the edge of what some bikes are designed for. There was a thread on here about last years Trek FX bikes not handling weight over 275 very well, the rider that had problems was 250lbs.
And 260 will definitely be a wheel killer. But that shouldn't be too big of a problem on cheap bikes (that's bikes under a grand).
