Corsa was SL, flat fork crown, Corsa Extra was SLX, semi sloping fork crown. I have the former, have had the later. Great ride.

Proven SLX tubing, proven geometry, proven design philosophy, significant competitive history across multiple teams. All in all a very solid platform that does what it was built to do.

Sounds like the auction description is correct.

Seems like it went for a pretty reasonable amount too. Very nice.

Here's a big one from a clueless seller, somebody make him an offer!
Looks like a "storage auction" type deal.
62cm corsa extra (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eddy-Merckx-62-cm-Corsa-Extra-Columbus-SLX-Tubing-/330672665232?pt=Road_Bikes&hash=item4cfda07290)
