@Santaria...i still do not get why you restricted your choices for a long distance training bike to either a steamroller or bareknuckle, when there are so many other bikes more appropriate for that task
but fwiw...
ain't nobody here taking no bareknuckles or big blocks & no njs bikes to places like i ride my steamroller...



anyway...just got back from riding my sr at a local mtb park & all i gotta do is spray it down, change bars, cog, tires & this weekend i'll rundown some blowhard who likes to brag he rides 20+ mph for miles & miles...

have fun & good luck in your search for a new bike
