Stickered up as en extra but apparently a Corsa. Either way a Merckx for £240!

Likely a dumb question, but what is the difference between a Corsa and a Corsa Extra?

From memory Corsa is Columbus SL whereas the Cors Extra is Columbus SLX.

Hi guys
John is right with the corsa tubing breakdown.
Corsa = SL
Corsa extra = SLX
Corsa 01 = Deda 01

Not much difference in quality, more what you want your tubing to do/ for. Even the Deda tubing from around 2000/2001 is the same quality.
Seems a really good price compared to what others seem to go for.

my cougar is SLX, when i was ordering it and had the choice between SL and SLX i went for the SLX because it was aimed more for sprinters because it was stiffer but slightly heavier. this is what i was told anyway. back then i was pretty handy on a road bike and could sprint quite well which is why i chose it over SL.

so arguably you could say the fact that this is a corsa is better because it's lighter.
