Merckx Corsa Extra sizing

[rusty bodie]

Re:

ok, i'm assuming you've either got the smallest bike in the world or you meant cm and not mm!!

my merckx is a 60cm centre to centre and my set up is:

upper surface of the saddle tip to floor 103cm
the middle of the stem to floor 96cm.

neither the seatpost or the stem is at it's maximum height.

Hmmm...so maybe I'll keep building it up and see where I net out. The paint scheme is really growing on me and it's not often I can say the frame I'm riding was in the pro peloton at one point in its life (maybe). Onward ho.

Re:

worst case scenario is that you have to sell it and start all over again with a bigger frame. there are worse hobbies to have!

True...

Re:

A legend indeed.
I heard on Monday he had been taken to hospital and nothing else, not even to say why.
Not old either, very sad for his family. Rest In Peace.
