- Boy is this wrong. I just received my 1993 Bridgestone MB-3 which comes
- with DX components. DX has not been discontinued by any means. It is offered
- on a large number of 1993 bikes although the new LX is on more. IMHO
- DX beats the hell out of painted LX unless you really want Rapidfailure Plus.
- Even then you can get that on DX if you must.
