My do it all bike, picked it up for $80 bone stock on Craigslist with a fat dent in the seat tube. Luckily, ramming the seatpost all the way down took most of the dent out. I had problems with the rear caliper rubbing on the big 32c tire, so I made a tapered washer that angles the caliper away from the tire, giving decent clearance now. Also the front rack bracket took some work to make it fit with the brake. I'm planning on swapping over a 110 bcd crank from my Bridgestone 400 so I can run a 36t inner chainring, then I'm calling it doneski. Oh and a brooks b17

Picked up a DX-1000 for $25 last weekend. Aired up the tires,adjusted,WD-40 here and there and off and rolling! Surprizingly nice bike. It's begging for a rack or two also. Enjoy

Wow that's very nice! For looks, I'd swap the wheelset for a more classical one, but looks great nonetheless. Must be wonderful to ride with those wider tyres.

Thanks ! Yeah the ksyrium is only temporary until I get the matching cxp22 front wheel back from a friend....and yes the ride quality is mind blowing, but it's not as peppy while mashing the pedals as I would like
