My elder brother had the white Cromega LX back in '92 After 2 years the tubing at the fork end (drive side e-stay) cracked .
He contacted the uk distributor who said it was known fault with the Tange-built LX and their remedy was to upgrade to the Truetemper DX.
That was in '94 and the DX frame lasted 10 hard years of racing, touring and commuting before being hit by a car - so yes indeed, the DX can take a bit of a hammering.
I thought you may appreciate a photo of a fully laden CroMega Tourer - Here's one from a winter tour of Ireland in '97 apologies for the quality it's just the bottom corner of a massive landscape - it was all I could find.

It's a Cro Mega DX I'm building. Yes, with the e-stays. Did these have issues too? I know the ally ones weren't that bullet proof but didn't know about issues with the steel ones. Let's hope the dropouts can take some offroad hammering as I want to ride the bike.
