    Need help identifying my eddy merckx.

    It has all the features and the panto in the right places for a Corsa Extra and it's SLX

    Need help identifying my eddy merckx.

    Merckx (like most producers) could be inconsistent with numbering etc, but I'm fairly confident given the frame details that this is an early Corsa Extra.

    Best Find at the Dump?

    I've never really found anything of any quality at the Dump, but my brother in law stumbled across a lovely Freddie Grubb with a full Campagnolo group on it. The chainstay was a bit bent, but easy cold set. Good to ride again!

    The only thing I've ever found at a land fill was a box of old brake levers... None of which could be rescued into operation!

    the New Buzzword is 13spd cassettes, oh i can't wait for 14 spd cassettes. 8spd cassettes were cool, 9spd not so much ad infinitum.........

    I can understand not wanting to go back to the front derailleur set up. Once it's gone you don't miss it
