Hi all. Recently got hold of a Corsa Extra (in Max - shown in Motorola colours below) - and a MX-Leader (in a unique color combo I've never seen before, except for LWZ's TT above - Pink on bottom, Midnight Blue up top. Almost looks like Weinemann, but without the green and darker blue, or Telekom, but with Blue instead of black.
The MXL came with Headset (Campag Mirage), BB (Chorus) and an aero seat post (which I think is Chorus but not that familiar with Campy stuff).
The MXL also has a strange 'F' decal on down tube, facing the back (last photo below). It is under clear coat. Does anyone know what this is? A Belgian team, perhaps?
Serial number is F3120. I think that indicates '97/97..?
Both were bought within 50 k's of eachother, close(ish) to Brussels.
Would love some suggestions as to what to build up the MXL with...have an old DA 7400 crank, DA 7400 calipers (single pivot), SKF BB (should I use this instead of Chorus BB?) and a set of Exage brakes. I think it would be better to use existing Campy parts on the bike and source some Chorus bits and bobs. I have a Chorus front derrailleur on its way, which is good.
Don't have a lot of money after these two, but I would really appreciate suggestions.
