Motorola Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra SLX 1994

[N-plus-one]

I have a mix of CF and SF bikes. I enjoy them all.

It's all in the details. Some Michelin Airstop tubes with lovely 40mm brass stems.

The current trend for fat tyres is due to one thing in my opinion, modern carbon fibre being so uncomfortable to ride. Back in the day anyone turning up with fat tyres would be laughed at. Anything more than 25 just looks awful.

100% agree

It looks stunning, how does it ride?

When I get it down from the wall I'll let you know seriously though, it's just how it was in the 90s. It shifts.

Finding an excuse to tinker with the merckx.

Planing on reducing the bar reach so a shorter cinelli stem and some 64-42s bar to come out of storage.
Also, the 7700 wheel hubs are going in favour of some refurbished 7403s.

May have some bit for sale soon
