I need some help,
The frame on my beloved Panasonic Dx 2000 is twisted as result of a car collision. In your opinions, what would be a good vintage bike to fit it's place (besides other DX models I'm looking at)? I'm also looking at a Vitus, however I've heard these had problems with the lugs (even though the model I'm looking at is lugless). I was just wondering what would be a good 10/12/14 speed to fill it's place? a fuji? an 80's cannondale? A Peugeot?

I'm kind of limited to around 500 as a college student and even though I thought myself to be a fairly good shopper for bikes I'm feeling alittle bit overwhelmed.

Any help anyone could afford would be greatly appreciated.
