When I think of Redline, I think of BMX, Cyclocross and the 9-2-5. However, Redline has a line of what they call ‘Fitness Bikes’, the R550 is their top model of that line.
I took possession of this bike this weekend so I can ride it and give you the skinny on how it performs as a commuter bike. Stay tuned for my first impressions and a full review in a couple of months.

Love the Redline products! I have a 2005 9.2.5 and a 2008 R530. I am also a Giant (bicycle) fan and have a couple of their bikes from the early 90’s. Both brands really seem to offer a lot of value for the dollar.

Hmmm…Redline. I scored my 2004 Redline Conquest off of Ebay 3 years ago for cheap. Had broken my last commuter in half and was short on cash. Converted it to a 1×9 for commuting year-round in Denver. Riding 23’s in warm weather and 38’s in cold. Sturdy, decent weight and a joy to ride. Will likely get another one when I ride this one into the ground. Hopefully not literally again.
