I was at my LBS yesterday to get some replacement brake pads for my Trek 7.2FX snow bike...the winter grit just tears them up...and also to look for a cheap hybrid or mtb to replace my kid's old Huffy mtb beater that finally gave up the ghost beyond what I felt was worth repairing. They had this 2005 Raleigh Route 24 on closeout for a really good price. So I ended up with new brake pads AND the Raleigh...except that after a few hours of maintenance, cleaning and swapping parts, I gave the Trek to the kid and the Raleigh is now MY new bad weather/winter commuter.
The Freddy Fenders off the Trek would have been a real pain to mount because of the disk brakes, so I ended up pulling the SKS fenders off my One-Way and putting them on this bike and putting the Freddys on the One-Way.
