I just bought an 07 Raleigh Route 66. It's already got 700x28 tires on it, with the tiniest bit of treading. I was considering buying another set of tires, possibly 32s with a step more agressive tread for stability. I've never had a road bike before this, and I'm still uncomfortable taking corners at speed. I want to be able to just blast through corners without worrying.
I've yet to put fenders/lights on it. I was getting fenders on it when I bought it but the rear one wouldnt fit through the post. I need to get a camera to take actual pictures of mine
