New Trek fx 7.3, thanks for everyones help!

Would like to thank everyone for their help with recommendations for a decent bike for someone my weight. Just got home with it, I know its not much compared to alot of bikes, but its the nicest (and new) I've ever had. I will upload pic's when I can get ahold of a decent camera, moto e pics suck.

Your original post on 4/23 said buy in a few months. Consider a career in politics, you liar

Enjoy your 7.3FX. Great all around sport bike.

@americanrecluse Thankyou!
@oddjob2 I was blessed with resources way ahead of expected, but I am not complaining, hoping no one noticed that small detail 😉, and thankyou.
