So I think the 'Dale is gonna be donating parts to the old SR, but I'm not going to worry about it right now.
I put a few more laps on the Dale, and ended up with some hand pain that I'd noticed before... but hadn't solidly connected with this bike until today. The frame's a bit small, and it'll take more parts swapping than I care to do to get it 'right'. No worries, though. The only real purpose of that bike was to fit the Atlas wheels while I was uber heavy, and later I figured I'd use it for sloppy weather.
My Montague will do this just fine, and also fits in the trunk of my Hyundai. I moved the Ergon grips over to the Paratrooper and may just use the drivetrain and cockpit from the M500 on my 'new' old Dale road bike... make it a flat bar roadie.
