For Sale: Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra

Too many frames, not enough time.

I had this Eddy Merckx resprayed in South Africa and it's in very good condition. Dimensions are:

seat to headset: 55cm
seat to bottom bracket: 56cm

I'll also include two Cinelli stems (110 and 90) and a set of Mavic open pro wheels. No scratches, no visible dents, paintwork is damn good.

wow

wowow

it really is a beautiful frame, pictures just don't do it justice (sorry!)

Oooof! Can't see this hanging around

special

has it been resprayed with the headset cups in? may be a lighting thing in the photo?

also have they masked and sprayed around the original decals... looks white/ off white?

nice frame though... pantos on fork photo would help.

original cups were resprayed. New decals ordered and added, then lacquered on for the final finish.
pantos?

so are the cups fast in the frame or can they be removed without cracking the paint?

were the decals only lacquered around them or the full frame coated?

i mean the em logo embossed in to the crown of the forks... lets a buyer know they are original.

Reckon they could be removed, although i've not done it myself or even attempted to. I do have a headset here I could throw in.

Frame was stripped down, cleaned, resprayed (two coats), then decals applied and then final coat on that. The frame doesn't have white, it's actually a pearl finish, the camera doesn't pick that up.

have found another set of rims I'll throw in,will post pics if needed. open to sensible offers of course

I love this frame but... What is that in the drive side of the bottom bracket shell? Is it part of the old BB that you can't get out? Ditto the headset cups on the headtube and fork- a proper renovation would see these removed.

provisionally sold, awaiting payment.

cheers
