I think it is a decent bike, first time with mechanical disk brakes. I find them to be a hassle so it is possible I would replace them with calipers...
I have been ambiguos about my weight...I am 260 but I have lost a bunch of weight since the trek... is that too much for a bike?
I have 2 road bikes (trek 1220, bikes direct dawes lightning sport) and have never broken a spoke on them and I have had them for (gee whiz) over 20 years...
I was heavier when I had the trek mulitrack 7100... just for clarification...
