I just got a call from an old friend who says he has a gorgeous Eddie Merckx Corsa Extra with full Dura Ace from '86 or '87
Looks like I can get this bike for a song if I want too, but know nothing about it. He says it retailed for about 5K back then, but he got it for $2,800 due to a family member working at the store.
Doesn't have matching/original fork...not sure what is on it. Any idea what this is worth? ...he says "mint" condition as it has been hanging in his garage for many years. Had a couple seasons of regular/heavy use.
Is this bike heavy?
I assume down tube shifters...I currently have an '03 Calfee with Campy Chorus...would you use this bike as is or change the grouppo?
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Mike
