+1 on getting the trek with stock wheels. The wheels look like they are 32 spoke. I am 6' 275 and ride 32 spoke with no problems. I had some issues a while back, but I think it was a bad wheel build. I rebuilt the wheel as much for the learning as anything and have had not problems.

Wha I would suggest is after riding for a while... take them to the shop and have the spoke tension checked.

once you get the bike you are obliged to post the pic hear.... the real bike, drive train facing the camera

Wheels i have:
32 spoke Deore hubs, Sun cr18 rims, dt double butted stainlilss spokes (commuter)
32 spoke Ultegra hubs, Velocity aerohead rims, dt double butted stainless spokes (road)
