  • It definitely went for a sensible price but the accumulated shipping costs, vat & import duties put me off. Really glad it ended up here and you definitely did it justice with this build, wouldn't change a thing tbh. Those wheels are absolutely lovely, too!

    @WimVDD I'm feeling the dilemma you're in. With a bike like that, one always feels like a caretaker even if the colours are somewhat ugly. The chrome lugs & rear triangle are really nice, there was a team Stuttgart with chromed lugs & rear triangle on ebay for a while - needless to say that it looked stunning...

  • You can buy my Team Stuttgart and I will have this one rechromed and resprayed in Stuttgart colours... ;)

    The guy that mostly does the respraying for me (former Pro Frank Hoste) had Eddy Merckx for a visit some weeks ago. He had a completely ruined (the paintwork, not the frame) Corsa Extra that belonged to a close friend of his (former road pro Fons De Wolf). It was a teambike from the ADR Team and Merckx came to ask him if he wanted to respay it, giving him directions and advice how to get it as close to the original as possible.

  • I really appreciate the offer but I know I shouldn't even think about it - 7,5 bikes is already 50% above my initial self-imposed limit and apparently I'm not very good at letting bikes go ;)
