The DX-4000 was a mid-level racing bike in the Panasonic DX series of bikes. They originally came equipped with white colored Shimano Sport LX/Exage Sport components, white seat and handlebar tape, and dark grey Araya rims. I have upgraded this bike with Shimano 600 "tri-color" parts, mavic rims, and other minor changes.

This is a fairly fast and smooth riding bike now with the improvements I made to, but unfortunately a tad bit larger frame size than I ordinarily ride.
