I will be commuting to school this fall and work. My school is about 4.5 miles one way and work 7miles one way. Could someone tell me which bikes has better compents the DB Century `06, the Trek 7.3 fx disc and the Raleigh Route 24 2006? (I know the the brakes are different). Has any used the DB Century `06 as their main commuter bike and if so what is your opinion on it as well the Raleigh Route 24 2006
Thanks
