2007 Redline Conquest


My latest bike is a 2007 Redline Conquest with a cool blue and white paint scheme. What is most interesting to me is the possibility of disc brakes. The rear spacing is set for road wheels (130mm) which means that the hubs have to be adjusted to fit. Most disc hubs out there are set for mountain bikes (135mm).

The biggest difference in my setup is a set of moustache bars and bar-end shifters (barcons). The other great thing is the BIG tires - 35mm! These really smooth out the rough roads around here. I haven't put that many miles on it as yet, but boy do I love this bike. The only change I want to make is a set of disc brakes. I have my eye on a set of Avid BB-7 road-specific discs, but I think I'll start with just the front wheel. Once I have them mounted, I'll post some pics.
