Re: You can get 105 chainsets (and most other modern groupsets) in 53-39, 52-36 and 50-34 chainrings. With 11 sprockets available in 11-32 and 11-28, you can get a good spread of gears with not too large a jump between the gears. I'd try 52-36 chainrings with 11-28 cassette. This gives...

Steve: I sent you a PM about the Centaur stuff. Did you get it?

Re: Re: I've seen it on a couple of bikes on eBay: a Corsa Extra and a MX-Leader. I think it's a reasonably standard paint-job. I have a purple Merckx Corsa Extra, which I hadn't seen the paint on anything else until recently when I spotted a Strada-OS and an Arcobaleno on eBay with the same...

Looks like a good bike for light off road / mixed surface riding and touring. This sector of the market has been reinvented as "gravel riding" and is currently growing. Even Cannondale have reinvented the bike you have for the new niche: http://www.cannondale.com/en/Great%20Br ... 6499b2e4e0

Hello. Looking for a black quill stem for a 1" steerer, in 110mm length, 26.0mm clamp size with an "aero" clamp bolt (i.e. the bolt is at 9 o'clock rather than 6 o'clock. Something like a 3ttt podium would be ideal. Condition must be excellent or NOS. Thanks.

Re: Cinelli Giro D ITALIA Handlebars. I have a pair of 64 - 42 in very good condition, less than 200 miles on them and no scratches to the clamping area. However, they are the modern reissue with a 26.0mm clamp. Would be cheap - £20 posted. I just couldn't get on with them and swapped to an...

The Merckx rides really well. The nicest steel roadbike I've owned - compared to a Surly Pacer, Bob Jackson 853, old 60s Holdsworth. There are quite a few fans of the Corsa Extra on here. If you're a bigger rider (tall and/or powerful) you could also look for a MX-Leader. LFGSS is a good...

I built a really nice '90s Merckx Corsa Extra for about that amount of money. It has Shimano Ultegra 6500 on it, which is the "trickle down" version of Dura Ace 7700. A lot of the parts were NOS. With Campag, it's the Record and Super Record groupsets that cost a lot of money, with Shimano it's...

Re: Re: I bought a second hand Superissimo Brain frame, so I'm out! :)

Or a load of old rubbish? http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_nkw=& ... tseu&rt=nc Does it seem legit? The Colnagos do, although they are the lower end models.

£300 to £400 for a good condition Superissimo, a bit more for a good Tecnos or Master.

Hello all, I'm looking for a 1990s Colnago with oversize (31.8mm downtube) tubing. So, something like a Superissimo with Brain tubing, or Elegant with EL-OS, Master or Tecnos with Nivacrom. Size 55 or 56 - which have 545 and 550mm top-tubes. A bit of a long shot, but this is the place to ask...

Re: If you want to buy a nice frame quickly and cheaply then you could do a lot worse than a Merckx Supercorsa. Available for £300 to £400 on eBay or a bit less on LFGSS. I have a '98 model in a very 90s purple colour scheme, kitted out with 9sp Ultegra of the same (roughly) period. It's the...

Ah, yes. Found the thread here: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=327534&hilit=Merckx I won't be trading in my purple Corsa-Extra for one of these. :)

To answer my own question: it's an Arcobaleno. If you look at the other items the seller has for sale then there are about 20 unpainted Merckx frames, ranging from Corsa Extras to (one) MX-leader that I can identify. The seller has the models and most of the sizes incorrect but the pictures...

Any ideas which model this is? Looks to be fillet brazed and have the strange internal seat post clamp. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-NOS-E ... SwLVZViScP

I'm looking for a more comfortable handlebar for my 1990s vintage Merckx Corsa Extra. I've currently got a Cinelli Giro d'Italia bar which, although classic, is an instrument of torture. It's comfortable neither on the hoods or the drops. I don't know how they've been manufactured for so long...

Yes, you need a 4.5mm spacer. Put the spacer on, then the cassette!
