With most bikes going Disc brake it has added cost to many of the bikes we know and love so I have to hand it to Trek for making their FX 1 fitness commuter in both rim brake and disc brake. We are checking out the rim brake variant that also happens to be the least expensive way to ride an aluminum Trek bike. Let me know what you think in the comments below & Don't forget to subscribe!!!
