Bought a new bike on Sunday. It's a Redline conquest sport, a cyclocross style bike.

I'm going to make some mods in the next couple of days like adding fenders and maybe a rack on the back and possibly some new handle bars (these seem way too narrow). This should be a pretty commuter friendly bike. I might also throw my current commuting skinny tires on there as well as disc brakes (for which the bike is already compatible).

Today was my first real ride on it and my second longish ride in a long time, a distance of almost 11 miles in just over 35 minutes or so. The ride is pretty flat with 1 big long uphill at the end. It feels way different than my other bike but its not bad, I just have to get used to it.
