CyclesMakaron , I was a bit confused by one of your earlier posts where you said that a code meant that a Corsa Extra had Century geometry. There's a very good chance I misunderstood or read a faulty source, but I thought I'd read somewhere that there Eddy Merckx bikes of that era had 1 of 2 geometries: either the more relaxed century or the more aggressive road race and that the Corsa Extra (and later the Max) had the road race geometry and most other models like the Professional had the century geometry. I'd also thought that I had read that the main difference between the Titanium EX and AX in the 2nd half of the 90's was that the EX had road race geometry while the AX had century.

Am I misunderstanding or misremembering what I read? Could any of the bikes have either of the geometries? Were there more than 2 geometry options?
