DX Series: 11 months, 4 weeks agoThanks for the info. Working on the 58cm bike first. Bottom bracket cups, axle, and bearings all had noticeable wear, so I bought new bearings and took the axle and cups from the smaller bike which were in good condition. Next, onto the wheel hubs, then the headset…

DX Series: 1 year agoPersonally I would do exactly as Darin suggested…do what you can within the confines of saving some money and not damaging anything, then get them back together and take them to a reputable bicycle shop and have the “Pro” mechanic do a once over prior to heading out on your 20 mile ride. It will [...]

DX Series: 1 year agoI would suggest servicing the headset and bottom bracket along with the hubs as well. A good cleaning and repacking with fresh grease is likely in order.

DX Series: 1 year agoI pass a 1986 DX-5000 locked to a sign post on the way to work every day. I just recently had it’s front wheel stolen. It belongs to a food place as a delivery bike but doens’t seem to be used anymore. It stays locked up outside year round and really makes me sad. I want to save it. The only thing that appears non original is the saddle. What do…[Read more]

DX Series: 1 year agoThe Situation – I’m an amateur mountain biker who has been having obsessive thoughts about buying a road bike. Lack of funds prompted searches on Craigslist where I just purchased 2 1987 Panasonic DX-3000′s (49cm and 58cm) at $50 each. They are in decent, but not great shape; previous owners (husband and wife) were avid [...]

DX Series: 1 year, 1 month agoWelcome to the club Marc. I remember those ’85 DX-2000′s as well. My first was an ’85 Team so I used to thumb through the 1985 catalog quite often drooling over the various models. You don’t see too many of the ’85 DX-2000 or DX-3000 models these days.

Thanks for the warm welcome Darin and hello to everyone else… I look forward to joining in on the discussions and hope to make some friends in the process. Vive le Panasonic!!

DX Series: 1 year, 1 month agoI own a 1985 DX-2000, 28″ Frame, Metallic Graphite in color. The bike is all original except bar tape… I purchased this bicycle new in 1985 and did some junior amatuer road racing with it. What a great bike! I will never part with it…not only is it a gorgeous classic, but it holds too [...]

DX Series: 1 year, 2 months agoI have a 1986 DX-5000, not sure about the size?
I am wondering what it’s worth?
any ideas?-
That depends on the condition I’d say, but $300-400 wouldn’t be a bad selling price if it is nice.

DX Series: 1 year, 6 months agoI’ve now seen 4 for sale in the last 8 months or so and haven’t been able to snag a single one of them. Still hoping for a mint one in or around the Twin Cities so I can just go pick it up without having to convince a Craigslist seller to actually ship a [...]

Darin I sold at least four that year up in Bemidji and even rode one myself for that season. Them moved up to the 5000 the following year.

Depends on how bad off it is and how original. I’d gladly pay $150 for a decent one that isn’t too far gone.
