The shop I purchased from assured me the that wheelset should hold me. I had looked at the 7.3 due to the nicer componets but the shop steered me back to the 7.2. The shop guy said that the wheelset on the 7.3 is nicer but a little more delicate for someone my size (380). I have only had my bike a couple weeks so I can not atest to the long term durbilty but for someone 130lbs my junior it should be fine. Oh and just because you ordered that bike doesn't mean you own it. I am sure if doesn't fit any decent bike shop would order the size up or down if you need it.
He wasn't kidding about the wheelset, I've pretty much had constant problems with the rear on my 7.3. Eventually I'll get a new rear wheel.. reminds me that I sould give the shop a ring
