- It also means that he has had actual experience with LX. Claiming that
- LX is less durable than DX is speculation. Only time will tell. As far
- as dismissing LX because it is painted - big deal. Is the quality or
- performance of your frame lessened because it is painted and might
- chip if ridden hard? Of course, if you have a DX bike then that's a
- strong incentive to defend it (and apparently criticize LX).
