This is sadly not getting used and I need the space so it's got to go.

Transmission is Sachs New Success (Chainset, F&R mechs were NOS when fitted).
Consists of 8spd Ergos, Chainset, F&R mechs. BB is a Campagnolo square taper 115mm.
Wheels are Campagnolo Athena on Mavic MA40 with a 13-26 8speed Record Cassette. As you can see rims are practically unused. Complete with Veloflex Master 25 tyres.

Seatpost is Campag C-Record and saddle is re-issue Selle Italia Turbo '80's.
Pedals are Look PP66 and I have excellent cleats to go with them.
The paintwork on the frame is still in amazing condition and the colours look fantastic.

Thanks guys.

Some bikes look better in photos than in the flesh. I think this one looks even better in person. If I could hang it on the wall just to look at it I would!

Re: Merckx Corsa Extra 58cm

Sad to see this up for sale mate.
Needs must I suppose and if it's not getting used then there are other things that investment could be used for.
Still, I know you put a lot into it. This is a very good price and you should move it no problems at this.
Hope all's well down with you and the family, we need to catch up, it's been too long

Cheers Jamie. Yeah, it's a shame but I'm exclusively off-road with my cycling these days and this just isn't getting used. Sad 'cos it's the most beautiful bike I've ever owned!
Need to get together for a ride again soon man. Keep looking for opportunities to get up to your neck of the woods. Not been that far north for a while! :cry:
