Will they fit?
I am new to bikeing. My Daughter left 2 bikes at my house when she moved. One is a trek 4900
18" and the other one is a Trek Navigater 300 14.5". I am 275 pounds and 5'11" tall. Which bike will come closer to fitting me?
Thank for helping me
Joe

4900. The 14.5 is a women's bike for sure. That is what my wife rides

I agree that the 18" will come closer to fitting you more properly than the other (much smaller) one.
At 6' tall I ride a 17" bike, which is just slightly too small for me but I ride a size smaller for a reason.

I'm 6'1 and ride a Trek mtb size 19.5 inch, great fit, perfect!. So the 18 should fit you fairly well!

I'm 5'9", 300 lbs and on the Trek 820 (which I believe has the same geometry as a 4900) the 18" is what felt best to me during test rides. Good luck!
