Yes. Oversized tubing allowed them to not approach the same weight of steel...diameter-strength in aluminum.
i have that same bike (mine is a Crest version). It had a Tange steel fork that lessened the harshness of the front end. Won’t be a tourer but it’s an awesome frame. In fact all Dale frames were the same...only the components were different.
Shimano 105 is bomb proof. Best single pivot brakes I ever used.
