I looked at it a year or two ago. I bought a Redline Conquest 24 used for just a bit less, but I looked at REI's too because it actually had 26" wheels. The big drawback to the REI bike is that it was surprisingly *very* heavy. For actual cyclocross racing it seemed like it would have been a bit much for run ups and places where you need to carry the bike. If they've lightened it up a bit it might be a great entry level bike for us shorties.

I'm not a shorty I'm 5'7, but I looked at the Redline Conquest too and the Giant TSX 0 which I REALLY like. Any of you cross riders have any input? I'm not going to be racing it but I am a bit curious as for what type of terrain I will be able to handle with it? I just sold my MB and I don't enjoy a lot of intense off roading but I do like riding flat dirt trails (no jumping logs for me) for many many miles.
