Merckx My Corsa
Moderator: robbosmans
I had posted in Pro thread about the Corsa Steel Merckx Oliver Nassen road in final stage of TDF this year
The My Corsa custom "Merckx Blend of Columbus Spirit HSS tubing and Columbus Xcr tubing with 130x9mm rear stays."
goes for 3299 Euros frame & fork
But they also have some ready made steel
The Strada "Merckx Premium Steel " with carbon fork goes for 2499 built with either Potenza or Ultegra
Or 899 Euros frame & fork.
Seems a decent msrp & will probably be a bit less from dealers?
I think they will do well & possibly a good direction for the now Ridley/Diepensteyn owned Merkx company
Have not seen weights yet

Love the concept, execution is not ideal- the paint and graphics alone look really shitty.
I cannot really say about the paint till I see a better live pic
Yeah graphics rather plain but I like that & think with the Corsa they were going for the
old Molteni look
Also the Corsa can be had any way/color you want it
The graphics options they showed on the GCN show looked alright, more of a vintage style panel design.
Yeah I think that was the idea.
I think it is a good direction
Since Ridley has the carbon well done already & Merckx can be retro
I also like that more steel options becoming available.
Custom tool
I think it’s the new Merckx font that looks nasty- just like the ugly ass carbon frames they made pre ridley. Love that steel is getting more attention!
Edit- hats off to them for making a decent looking fork that aligns nicely with the headtube.
