Myself plus racks, basket, bags, lights, gear = approx 400lbs, havent hurt anything on my mens LTD-3 yet. Front wheel has a hop that I cant easily true out but it's been solid. I have put considerable time into tensioning the rear wheel spokes twice over the last couple years of almost daily short trips. I've upgraded the brakes to new Tektro dual pivots to help slow down all that mass and I keep the tires inflated to 60psi- I air up weekly to be safe.
