My Trek 3700.
I am planning ahead, and saying that this winter I will most definitely be commuting in snowy conditions. I have a pure stock 3700 at this point and was just wondering if it is fit to commute in the snow, or do I need to buy and new tires? wheels in general? new parts? Just need some help. :) Thank You!

The 3700 should work just fine. You may want a studded tire on the front or both front and back, or you could ride it as is and see if you need the studs later.

I have a 3700.
You may want a new saddle as the stock one isn't very comfortable. And last winter I broke one of the original pedals while biking through a snowstorm. |
If you have more ice than snow you may want some studs. If you have a lot of hard packed snow then the nobbies will be OK. You may want fenders though, it will help keep stuff off you and off your drive train.
Also, it is darker sooner in the Winter, don't forget about lighting. |
