Ready to Roll








Here's the re-painted Redline Conquest. Les at Powder Coat Specialists did the stripping and repainting and did an excellent job. Not a flaw to be found anywhere. The decals were created online at SpeedySigns.com and I took the liberty of choosing a font that appealed to me and not one that matched the Redline company font. I also must thank Dave Schindler at FitPro for putting the bike back together to meet all of my fitting specs. Dave took the time to get the single chainring set-up just right and I couldn't be happier with the results. As always, I have to thank Mark and Cody back at my home shop, Ballwin Cycles, for their help with the parts I needed and the deals they give me.

The bike weighs in at 19.3 pounds and features the following options:
Ritchey WCS full carbon fork
Cane Creek SCX-5 brakes with Kool Stop black/red pads
FSA Carbon Pro crankset with Salsa 42T single ring and Salsa chainguards
Crank Bros Twin Ti pedals
Dura Ace shifters
Dura Ace rear derailleur with VCRC ceramic pulleys
SRAM 12-27 rear cassette
Nokon cable housing
Ritchey WCS stem and bars
Fizik bar tape
FSA carbon seatpost
Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow saddle
Neuvation R28 SL3 wheels
Michelin Jet S rear / Michelin Mud front tire

This will most likely be the last time the bike is clean as it's time to start putting some training efforts in and the early season races will be dusty or muddy.
