Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra Team Domex-Weinmann 1990

Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra Team Domex-Weinmann Bicycle from 1990. When Eddy Merckx, the most winning professional rider of all time, retired from racing, he set up his own frame manufacturing company. With guidance of the most skilled frame builders, especially Ugo De Rosa, the Eddy Merckx cycling works started to produce high-end frames.

The top of the line model for the first five years was the Professional which was made of Columbus SL tubing. From 1985 on it was the Corsa Extra. This extremely successful model was one of the best road bike frames you could get and therefore the choice of many professional teams. It dominated the peloton with its extremely well made triangle of light and rigid Columbus SLX tubes. SLX was a "superbutted" tubeset from Cyclex steel, that was designed for professional use and became famous for its helical reinforcements on the end of the tubes.
The frame we present here has the original first Team Domex-Weinmann paint scheme

Apart from the frame, this bicycle sports some very nice components made by Campagnolo. The core of which is formed by an Athena groupset.

This Corsa Extra is a perfect buddy for commuting or weekend rides
