2012 Raleigh Route 3.0 Fast and stable, and although fairly light for a hybrid, it's built like a tank. I had a 2007 Raleigh Passage 3.0 (basically the same bike, but discontinued in 2008 and replaced by the Route line), but I beat the living daylights out of it. My daily "cruiser" & weekly grocery-getter. Nevertheless, it held up for 5+ years straight, and in all that time the only trouble I had with it was the bottom bracket giving out, and one popped spoke. Both occurred within the last 2 months. The 2012 Route 3.0 fits me quite a bit better, and its steering is a lot less twitchy than my old Passage's, much as I loved that bike. I think it has something to do with 2012's cross tube at the top bending up towards the handlebar neck. Anyway, I look forward to at least as many happy miles and years with my 2012 Route 3.0.
