Hope I'm not hijacking this thread too much but I've just collected a merckx frame off of ebay (this one - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120934050802?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649).
Listed as SLX Corsa Extra and now it's delivered, the frame number would indicate it's just a corsa from 86/87 (according to http://www.cadre.org/Merckx/). The corsa/corsa extra sticker has been removed. Would a corsa have been made in SLX tubing? It's got the SLX sticker but I'm weary of it not being what it was listed as. Would one of the motorola painted bikes be make with a corsa frame?
Would be interested in opinions on whether I should attempt to get a refund/partial refund/stick with it? The listing would indicate he's willing to give refunds if I could prove it's not an SLX corsa extra.
Hope ebay is making the fucker who sent the yellow strada pay!
