There's a SWEET DX-4000 up in Seattle, mostly DA but a 600 RD. Overpriced at $650, though.
I've noticed e-Bikes are beginning to clog up Panasonic results, as some advertise their Panasonic Lithium Ion batteries.
Occasionally I'll try to track down the first "real" road bike I got, a Univega Super Special, and it seems like Univega sold more gaspipe than Panasonic. That Super Special rode just about as nice as my Pinarello Record. I'd probably like it even better now, since it was a little more plush and stable. I think I'm too old for '80s racing geo.
Oh, and the Super Special took bigger tires - some 25s would rub on the Pinarello's fork crown.

You beat me to it.
Gives me an idea - once my white tape gets too dirty on my blue & white Bridgestone I'm going with orange tape.

Sweet!
But NY mangos are usually more golden or mustard toned.

I have an '84 Paramount that is a swell bike, but it doesn't start to stabilize until you get it up to about 20mph, and I'm more into smelling the roses..

My square tapers are doing fine. Oh, and that Isis or whatever the hell it is seems OK, too.

That's what it is!!! 2001 Shimano 105, has that sticker right on the crankarm, but I was too lazy to run over and look at it! 
If it ain't square taper, they all look the same to me. Guess I should learn to ID them now that I have one of the non-square aberrations.

I bought a new queen size mattress/box spring from Original Mattress Factory for my 2 year anniversary gift (which is the cotton anniversary). Gets delivered tomorrow. I can't wait, my old mattress was about a decade past its prime.
