I will consider offers although I'll probably throw it on eBay soon. Might be moving house.

Thanks @nicktait1. Hope you find it. Seems to be a few about.

I didn't like not being sure. This site says it's probably maybe 1989. https://www.millfieldvelo.com.au/dating-merckx-steel-frames/

This frame and fork has been sitting around too long. Are there any Merckx fans out there? It's a Corsa Extra frame & fork, 56cm centre-centre, built in Columbus SLX by hand in Belgium. I think late 80s (feel free to correct me). But the key thing is good friend and Merckx fan managed to bump...

It's a great colour.

Very shiny. Too pricey for this beater though.

@hamster Just the right thing, could build those up on my existing rims. But, before I do... @Minifreak Have you got some pictures? Also interested.

When I re-commissioned my 1996ish Gary Fisher, the hub bearings and races were heavily, heavily pitted. So I did the right thing and rammed them full of Phil Wood hub grease and ran them a tiny bit loose for a couple of years, just around town. I'm actually quite enjoying the bike now though...

Re: Dura-Ace/Conti Grand Prix 4 seasons Great. I'll take it. PM coming.

Re: Interested in the Cinelli 1A 70mm. Is it a 26mm clamp?

Dibs on the Disney ruler.

That's lovely. It's a nightmare to find a bike in that exact size as well. If I had the cash...

I've had a few really good near misses finding the perfect bike so far. So I thought I'd keep the thread alive with this lovely picture to see if anyone else had seen one locally or had one in the shed or something...

Monday morning bump. Still looking.

Actually, think I found it. Back2Bikes? I've dropped them an email.
