For real steel lovers only!

Rare Eddy Merckx Corsa roadbike with great Shimano 600 2x8 speed STI group.

Very nice bike of the 90ties made of lightweight Columbus Brain tubing with complete (and perfect) chromed fork and rearstay.

Seatpost: 61 cm (c-t)
Toptube: 57,5 cm (c-c)

Bike is in a very good condition only light used. It has all original marks of the high quality Merckx frames made "Italian style", specially by the the engraved signs, a lot of chrome and the paintwork. It has some light marks of use only. A few minor spots/chips on the frame and some in the chainwheel area (touched up) but no rest or dents. Unfortunately the frame has 3 or 4 bigger chips on the right rearstay (see picture 8) wich are partly touched up. Overal the frame is in a very nice condition. The chrome is in a perfect condition with pantographed "Eddy Merckx" Columbus dropouts.

Looking for 420,- GBP including shipping costs from Holland. Please dibs and PM.

Dutch do it again

we try

apparently the dutch don't want to pay ' the going rate' for these outdated roadbikes, though, so increasingly they are sold over here.

how much without posting?

Hi nimhbus,

These "outdated" roadbikes are popular for a very small group of collectors in our country also. Even as the classy "old" Hetchins/Butlers/etc. in your country. Finding these bikes is more and more difficult. In these pricerange you can't buy yourself a pair of good modern wheels. In my opinion a bike like this is worth double the price i ask now. Note: in this condition it's gonna be worth more every year you keep it with care. No problem to sell it everywhere in the world (watch Ebay if you like) for an excellent price. I prefer a UK buyer because of the nice contacts and doing deals fair. Buying nice frames/parts myself of your country is the reason i be here often.

Posting is 30,-GBP + 10,-GBP for box and tape. so minus 40,- if you can pick it up.

Cheers, John
