Is the FX 3 Disc considered a "commuter" bike? Just so I know whether I should post pictures here when I get it.
A commuter bike is a bike you commute on. There are some bikes which are designed primarily for commuting, but those designs vary enough that there really isn't a proper class of bikes called commuter bike, at least in my view. My spouse has an old 7.3 FX (the FX3's predecessor) and it's a fantastically competent bike.
