2. How was the comfort of the 520's ride in and of itself??

First of all, I've had the 520 modified considerably so that it more resembles a trekking bike than the road tourer it was. MTB crank, flat handlebars, barends and thumb shifters. And it has a Trek "anatomic" saddle.

I need to change the plugs at the ends of the handlebars. They protude to the side and put pressure on the palm. And the saddle felt a little out of place. I recently pushed it back farther, so maybe I inadvertently changed the angle.

4. Do you have photos?

I took a couple shots, but I really wasn't concentrating on photos. They were 2nd rate and I've already deleted them.

5. Where do you suppose the rest of the deer went??? What was on the Special's Menu at the restaurant??

The chunk o' deer didn't show up until a couple young guys in a pickup dropped by. I saw lots of dead animals (including 3 deer) during the trip. I didn't notice a Road Kill Special....
