John here from Sheffield. Just got back into road after 20 years, having got bored with how slow my mtb was. Looked at a lot of new alloy stuff, but finally decided I wanted something a bit like the Dawes 531 I had in the early 80's, so found an Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra TSX on ebay. Highly delighted with it - pics in the readers bikes section. Very glad of the existence of this forum and those like it on t'other side of the pond, as I tend to get quite anoracky before I actually splash out on things
