I am 6'1 and 360lbs. I have a chance to get this bike for $600.

The bike is garage kept and is in excellent condition. My concern was the wheels on this bike. $660 is the most I have right now and am wondering if this bike is worth $600 and if it will hold me.

Your advice is appreciated.

Thx.

Yeah, those wheels won't stay true long at your weight.

Do you think the bike is worth getting?

My initial thought is that $600 for a bike that retailed for $900 two years ago isn't a great deal, but not really a bad deal either. However, agreeing that the wheelset isn't a good choice, if you factor in the cost of another set of wheels it's going to be pretty expensive. Selling that wheelset used won't re-coup much of the cost of a different set either.
