Eddy Merckx 1990 corsa extra TSX Team Weinmann

A modest 90’s color bomb

= The perfect every day bike

Bought this bicycle from a woman in Wallonia who used it as a daily ride. It looked horrible at first. For example, you might notice the paint missing on the front fork due to a speedometer. Luckily, we were able to clean/ buff most of the scratches out of the paint.

We finished the bicycle off with; a 1989 Mavic group set with the “shark teeth” cassette, starfish, 573 hubs, Look pedals, San Marco seat post, 3ttt handlebar combo and some nos Clement tires from a time when tires where getting thinner and thinner. Excuse us for the leftover dust and grease.

    I found one of these years ago locally. 63c/c. Stacked headtube lug. Some team frame from Europe. Who was this racer? Other Euro stickers, like a shop maybe. Can’t find his name online. Paint does not stick well to chrome plating. Set up and used as my daily driver and towne bike. Anyone ID the team guy on top tube? Ruud Wouters Serial number looks to be about 1993. D5181
    Any way to attach photos to this email form?
