I'm nearly your weight and I have been riding a Trek 7200 for over a year now, I have nearly 5,000 miles on it. Here is my experience:

I got 2,000 out of the stock wheelset before a spoke popped on the rear. Got another 2,000 out of the LBS build before I decided to respoke.

I got 2,000 miles out of the rear rubber and 4,000 out of the front rubber. No flats to date.

I would recommend changing the seatpost to a Thomson ASAP as my cheap one snapped at about 3,000 miles (not a fun experience!).

The stock seat underside cracked after about 2,500 miles. You'll need to experiment with seats if you plan on going over 10 miles. I settled on a Brooks B67.

Other than that, the frame, hubs, cranks and forks have held up. Keep in mind, I only ride pavement.
