Love the ride of the Corsa Extra but have never pedaled an EM Pro. Never pedaled a 753 bike either, for that matter.
Not a frame debate, but could you (or anyone else) offer-up an opinion on: the 753 vs SL/SLX ride quality. And I am a believer that 90%+ of the ride quality (in a classic lightweight) is in the tires and wheels and geometry - but I let the question stand.
I've never considered myself the connoisseur of the subtleties of ride quality but I place the 753 in the middle of the spectrum, regarding stiffness, between my SL Moser and my SP/SL Tommasini. It is a very smooth quiet ride, descends well, accelerates well. It's my favorite of my 3 C+V bikes. Geometry is a little different on all of my bikes. Moser is 56 X 56, the Eddy is slightly small for me, technically, a little shorter in the seat tube. I have noticed any excessive flexiness which was a complaint I read in an old thread on 753.
