I picked this up today at noon, by 3:00 it was looking much better! See the post in "Fresh Finds" for more images of this bike. I'll be going through it more tomorrow and taking off the chainguard (rubs on the tires now). Very happy!

Messed around with this bike some more today. Cleaned all of the paint with rubbing compound and a three step wax, cleaned that back off, clear-coated it, changed the seat, bars and guard, added fenders....not sure where it's going.

It's going to kansasjack on Friday to become a Jaguar. He's taking it and the S-7 that came with it, I'm hooking him up with a Sturmey setup and brakes. I'm planning to continue stripping work on the DX as soon as it's a bit warmer and finish my other 3 projects before the Spring.l No, I don't work in the snow, but I paint in the garage and take photos in the snow!!
