Background:
Originally had a Redline Conquest Pro frame from 2011/2012, equipped with SRAM Apex drive train. I ended-up running the bike into my garage while on a roof rack, destroying the frame. I hired a local custom builder (JamesFrames from Boulder), to build a custom steel frame with the exact same specifications. When I had it built up with the components, I needed to replace the front derailleur because the way JamesFrames ran the cabling (with all cables, (i) Rear DR, (ii) Rear Brake, and (iii) Front DR along the top-tube), meant that the front derailleur wire ran from the top-rear of the top tube down the seat tube and into the derailleur (as opposed to the original Redline, which ran the Front DR cable under the down-tube).

Because of this, I needed to replace the OEM SRAM Apex front derailleur with a Microshift derailleur
