Just got back from a Philly bike shop where a guy recommended the 4300 to me. He first said I should be fine on an 18" or 19" bike, but then he said 19.5" was perfect and 18" is to small. So I'm not sure what to take from that entirely.
He also told me stay away from the 3700 cause I will destroy it with my size if I do anything rought with it. Is that true? Or was he just trying to sell me a higher priced bike?
The 4300 will take more abuse than a 3700 yes hes right there. To tell you that you will destroy the bike with your size is just him trying to sell you the better bike. Either of those bikes will support a 300 pound rider. Email trek and ask them yourself . An 18 inch is most lilkey to small for you i ride an 18 and am only 5 foot ten inches.
