I am not sure how much you weigh but I weigh in at 250 (on the way down thank goodness) and I have had no problems with my 2300 or the Bontrager race lite wheels. Just wanted to let you know so you don't go with the other bike just becuase of weight.
Well, I curently weight 105kg (down from 123kg!). In fact, I am basically riding a bike to lose weight. I am still losing weight, but slowly.

This is about 230 lbs.

I am excited to hear that the Race Lites can handle 250lbs. One guy in the bike shop said the same thing, but my LBS (where I shop all the time) said they probably wouldn't. This was a BIG concern to me as the wheels are fairly expensive.

Thank you for your very helpful comments.
