Hi all

I've just picked up what is supposed to be a 1990 Eddy Merckx Criterium frame set.
It's got an columbus SLX sticker on it. The paint is very close to the old Panasonic team colours with pearl blue, light blue and pearl white. The chrome chain stays are in great nick and the paint is in vgc.

It looks like this but has the word CRITERIUM in a gold box on the rhs of the top tube near the head tube. It has "EMERCKX" on both sides of the seat tube. This frame is an 85 corsa extra. and mine seem to be an updated model

It came with a campag Athena headset and bottom bracket.

I've done some checking and cannot find too much info on this model. The serial numbers on the BB are 7CXY 5079A. These say it's a 1987 corsa extra, there no mention of the "criterium" model.

I've done some checking and cannot find too much info on this model.

Can anybody shed some light on this bike?

thanks
Dave
