Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra. Gan Team. Dura Ace.

[Bigfish]

A beautiful machine, but just not getting used. I guess I have too many bikes.
Details here:

I will of course put on a chain, as the pics show it without one, as I used it on my Colnago.
Looking for £775 ono
Collection preferred.

[Bigfish]

Yes, and then there are the frames waiting to be built up as well!

 

[Bigfish]

Had a few offers that came to nowt...
Anyone interested before evilbay?

 

[Bigfish]

May be willing to split this, which is a shame.
Frame forks and headset £400
Wheels £130
Sensible offers on the groupset. To include immaculate F/R mechs. Chainset. BB. Brakes and STis.

 

[Bigfish]

To answer some questions, the frame is standard Century geometry. 60 cm C-T seat tube. Tope tube is 58.3cm C-C. Head tube is 17.5 cm.
In view of the number of enquiries about the groupset, I am after £280, which is, I think fair in view of the condition. It's all immaculate apart from the STis which are 8.5-9/10.

Hi there, what is the BB thread, and crank arm lengths please?
Cheers

 

[Bigfish]

It's Italian threaded, and 172.5 mm cranks.

 

[Artful Dodger]

Thanks no good for me though, GLWS

 

[Bigfish]

Wheels went ages ago. Any offers on the frame and groupset?
I am after a similar sized Ilkeston Raleigh, so this will not get ridden again by me, as it's too young for L'eroica, and too pretty to ride as a training bike and get all mucky.
I bet someone can offer me something nice as a swap, or a sensible amount for the frame. Don't be shy. these rarely come up for sale in this colour scheme or condition. You could always pay through the nose on Hilary's website or buy a scabby one from 1963lee on Ebay...
