Thnx for the welcome, all . Anyway, let me tell you about my weight. I weigh an average of 325 - 330lbs, and mostly is because of my poor physical being. I have, and have always had, Thalasemia(sp?), Overall Dyspraxia, Asthma, and a bunch of other disorders to go along with it. In the past 21 years of my life, my body has made modifications to itself to make myself more stable, at the cost of performance. In short, I have over 100 pounds of thick muscle, that just serves as reinforcement, some of it doesn't do anything at all. It's just there. As of now, I am ~40 excess pounds body fat, and there's not much I can do for the muscle, except surgery . Anyway, I cant put out much power (dyspraxia), and I dont have much endurance (thalasemia), and I have asthma after a while (asthma ). Anyway, since I hate walking, and since I literally cant do much else, I decided bike riding would be the best option for me.

OK, back on topic... I hear that it may be better for a person like me to get a roadbike gearset, and road tires. Question is, how much do you think it would cost me for the smooth tires, a heavy duty tube, and a road gearset? As for the major/minor... lol I forgot what they were called and tried to use a slang term for it. I guess it didnt work too well... (*looks for the :stick: smilie*). Anyway, in your experiences, is Trek a good bike? Just wondering on that one.
