I decided to buy a Redline Conquest Pro and will have it the middle of next week. I will end up building it with an Ultegra 10 speed drivetrain, Frogglegg brakes, and I will use Mavic Helium wheels with Tufo tubulars. When I'm done I'll take some pics for all to see. My current bike hasn't been bad at all, I was just looking for something a little smaller that would be a better fit. I will use my Ridley Crossbow as a pit bike if it's ever necessary and will use it a lot for trail riding and winter riding. Cross season just ended, so the redline build will be a winter project.

I was very close to going with the Redline Conquest Team, but figured that the Pro would be good enough. In my frame size (48) it is still relatively light. For those that are interested, the frame came in at a weight of 3 pounds 2 oz. The fork weighed 1 pound 7 oz. The complete bike should come in at about 18 pounds. Not bad considering my Ridley is 20. It should be a good winter working on the bike and getting it ready for a few Spring cross races. I just wish cross season was longer
