I am a newbie getting into biking to get back into shape and lose some weight (see my post in the clydesdale forum) I am from the St. Louis area with great access to the Katy Trail. I am looking at several bikes. Here is a copy of my other post, I could use any advice or opinions that can be offered.

I am looking into the following bikes after a pretty good amount of research and considering budgetary issues. What do you all think of the following bikes.
1. Trek Navigator 2.0 - LBS, new bike, manu. warranty + free tune ups as long as I own the bike.
2. K2 Big Easy Duece - REI, new bike, manu. warranty + 1 free tune up at 200 miles
3. Motobecane Jubilee Deluxe - Ebay, new bike, manu. warranty
I am good at narrowing things down but not so much with making final decisions. My budget is around 300.00 bucks and I am looking for bang for the buck.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Roger
