Finally riding a big boys bike
This is a crazy question , but what is the difference between a dx and a staight bar? Thanks
 
The bar under the tank on a straightbar is straight and on a DX it has a very slight curve to it. V/r Shawn
 
On a DX frame, the center tube is curved.
Here is a picture of my 39 DX

Early on the DX was frame the budget bikes were built around, and the straightbar frames were mid-range and better. Eventually the DX frame was dropped from the 26" size and the straightbar frames were used on more budget models.
Cheers, Geoff

My Dx from the the 40s does not have the same rear drop outs... but The dx frame looks better than the straight bar in my opinion...
