Eddy Merckx

Eddy Merckx

This is a 1985 Corsa Extra that has never been built up. Was going to go fixed, but I'm collecting parts to build it up proper Campy style.

Nice frame. That looks very similar to my Merckx road, with the older font and a bit less chrome. You don't happen to know the year on it do you?

I've seen some great ss/fixed conversions on old road frames here, Colnagos, Pinarellos etc and they look great. Just build her, ride her, love her !!

As long as you don't remove any braze-on's, I don't think there's any problem with using it as a fixed-gear. Though I'd feel very awkward riding a Merckx frame fixed without being an accomplished road rider...

This frame deserves nothing

This frame deserves nothing but a full Super Record ROAD group. Either build it up as road or sell it to someone who will.

Agreed. If you want a fixed gear, trade that frame for a proper track frame of equally respectable quality.

Make into a Road frame

Submitted by tobimax on 04/19/2007.

Yes it deserves a good group. Plus I can give you a number from a good orthopaedic surgeon because all you fixie muppets are going to need one!

Road frames were built for the Road!

Hi,

this frame is far far too nice to be built as a fixed wheel ride, you must for the good of all things Eddy do the right thing and put a SR groupset on her.G
