Long, Steve

Hello OBRAites!
I'm looking at the possibility of getting a Redline Conquest Pro for a
commuter/(maybe cross bikes). However, the bike will be used mostly for
commuting and the occasional cinder/gravel road.
I'm looking at this bike because of the ability to put disk brakes on it
as I think that will work better in the rain than regular brakes. Here
are my questions:
1. Is this a respectable bike.
2. If I do use it for cross, should I get about the same size as my
regular road bike, e.g., should the standover height be about the same?
3. What would a good price on something like this be?

E-mail your comments to me off line and I'll compile and send out a
summary.
Thanks for you opinnions. :)
