[QUOTE="porscheman2944, post: 2149210, member: 2366"] I would go to a dealer. They will help you decide the fit for your bike. Disk brakes on a bike are a huge cost and unless you are doing some crazy riding will be over kill. We use the Treks as partol bikes and they have stood up to some pretty good abuse. I weigh 305 geared out and riding them up and down stairwells I put them through their paces. If you do alot off off road then go suspension. If you are doing alot of easy riding paths ect. I would go with a hard tail. Like most said getting into a dealer that will explain alot of the sizing ect. it the best options. If anything they will let you gain some knowledge and let you figure out what size bike you need. I have seen a few on here and CL is usually a good source but like they said they if they bike doesn't fit you. You won't get the fun out of it and it is harder on your body if the bike doesn't fit. Good luck and hopefully will will have a spring. [/QUOTE]
