Hello, another new poster here, although reader for a while.
I'm delighted to have finally acquired my Merckx (from a very nice chap on these forums) after two years of deliberation. When I started riding in 1994 the Corsa Extra was my dream bike!
It is a real hodgepodge of component eras - many modern pieces but with aesthetic consistent with the mid 90s. Only issue I have now is getting a new ratchet in the r/h ergo as gears jump under load.
59cm c-t Corsa Extra SLX
Mavic GP4 on Mavic 501 hubs, Sachs 12-21 8spd block
Record 10spd chainset on record BB
Record Ti 9spd r/h ergo, Chorus left
NOS Sachs New Success F&R mech
Chorus brakes
Daytona 27.2 pin with Selle Italia Flite Ti
Cinelli XA stem on Eubios bars
Most chuffed!
