Why This Matters
The Raleigh C30 sits in that useful 1990s cross-sport/hybrid category: more comfortable and practical than a road bike, faster and more efficient than a mountain bike, and already set up with the accessories most commuters end up adding anyway. With 700C wheels, fenders, rack, and a large steel frame, this is a very usable everyday bike rather than a fragile collectible.
