Any vintage Panasonic expert here?
I'm interested in buying a 1990 Panasonic race frame or bike (PR3000 4000 5000 6000 etc.) but it's hard to find all the infos or old catalogs. As far as I understand, not all models came with TANGE tubing? Only the higher specd ones? Also: I need size 63cm or 66cm - AFAIK they exist, at least a few models show up on Google. But then, it's hardy to find the geometries...top tube length etc.
Also: What's the difference between the PR series, DX series,
Any help would be appreciated to help me what to look for. Thanks!

I would say the DX series is recreational and performance level bikes and PR might be consider competition or Professional level

The PR series is not very common in the USA but the DX series is quite popular, my guess is that Panasonic did not distribute both series in the same market
I have a PR5000 that I love and I found it in The Netherlands
