Ah, true, it is the World DBX, not the Super Sport DBX, and it does have a triple. But that's what makes it a better commuting machine than the Sport DBX from 2006. A triple comes in handy if your commuting route has hills to cross, doesn't it?

Anyway, as I said before, I'm moving to an area notorious for its wet and rainy weather. It's also notorious for being especially hilly. I think I may have found the perfect commuter for that place

All that's needed is a test ride to make sure that I like the way it rides.

And mountain bikes with knobby tires for the street? EEEEEEeewww!!

Oh, Schwinnrider (funny name), if you'll notice, the Schwinn World DBX comes with the rear disc brake caliper on the chainstay. The Trek Portland and LeMond Poprad have that as well, if you'll take a look.
