I’ve acquired the Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra frame kit from Columbus SLX tubing late 2016 and got is re-sprayed in April 2017.
Now it’s more or less ready (bike are never finished), incl. Campagnolo parts, some pantographed bits (stem, brake levers, chainring) and Eddy Merckx Podio pedals and shoes.
Okay, the simple Campagnolo shifting levers will be replaced by a pair of Simplex retrofriction levers at a certain moment (update 12. May, 2021: done!) and I may please those people who complain about the too modern bare tape by swapping it for e.g. white Bike Ribbon.
I’m please with the outcome, although it’s not fully period correct (frame, fork crown, decals) and not as colourful as for example the frames with Telekom, Stuttgart, Motorola or Domex paint schemes.
