Hi!
I always wanted to own a Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra, but normally i don't spend a lot of money on bikes. Today i saw a local classified which said:
"Eddy Merckx Roadbike, 35 euro". The added photo said me it was a '92/'93 Corsa Extra, so after a call and a 5km drive i picked up this Corsa Extra (Columbus SLX), fully equipped with Suntour Superbe Pro (except Shimano 600 headset and Mavic Open Pro rims) for the sum of 30 euro's (about 27GBP).
The bike needs some attention (it has some paint damage, especially on the place were the Corsa Extra sticker has been, and the brakeleverhoods are totaly gone) , but i've seen much worser bikes.
I'm happy!
