For sale is a Merckx Corsa Extra road bike. Has been a relatives but doesn't fit me quite right. I want to build up a Cross Check lightweight tourer, and I need the place and money, so this has to go.
Columbus SLX frame, still has sticker of bike shop that originally assembled it. Frame number indicates this is a professional frame and was built in 1986/1987. Chorus groupset except the crankset which is victoria I think.
Size is 56 c-c square.
A white dolphin saddle is included but not shown in the pictures.
The bike is in great condition, but has obviously been ridden and wasn't kept just for show. However, it has not been used for years (probably over a decade) now. It has not been cleaned for the pictures (or at all in years). The scratches on the back right chainstay are the only serious ones on the frame. I have tried to capture everything but if you want more pictures of something let me know. Needs new bar tape, tires and a bit of polish, but I'd rather part with it as it is for a bit less than doing that myself.
The bike ships from Germany. I am looking for £500
£550£630(including shipping), but I will entertain reasonable offers. If this is completely unreasonable let me know, I have not been following sales for ages. Bike will be well packaged, I have everything ready. Looking to get rid of this before christmas, maybe somebody recognizes his ideal present.Pictures are here https://imgur.com/a/lk9Uw and here https://imgur.com/a/xRJAz (added pictures of pedals and hubs).
