There are no other markings on the bb, only D1106. It was on the wall of the shop for quite awhile because the price was high at $1275.00 (+ tax) compared to other framesets (which were $600-$800). After looking at it for many months I decided to buy it mainly because of all the different tube shapes, it was my first good bike. Thank you for your information! I'm happy I still own it.

This is one we kind of tossed around on Bikeforums, but here I can post pictures.
So this is the 63x61 Mxl that is painted 7eleven colors (repaint) that EMC recently said was an 89' team frame, despite knowing mxl didnt officially come out til a couple years later. Here are pics and BB stampings.

A beautiful 1994 Mx Leader. Confirming information in EMC for 10 years makes no sense - archives have disappeared, owner has changed twice. The current team does not have access to any extra sources. The guy from EMC saw the painting, checked it online and agreed with him from 1989 - they rather don't distinguish between frame models, steel is steel

Oh dear. This would be my holy grail. A 63cm 7/11 MX Leader. Hit me up if you ever want to sell.

2X 7286 on my Corsa Extra.
It was 126mm rear hub (now 130), so I'm guess it was not a '91 as the seller suggested. Still, amazing bike.

Excellent camouflage
if these are "big" SSC (and I think they are) and Silva 2 brake bridge (and I think they are) then next to 2X there should be one of the letters A, P or M and above 7286 - letter Z. This model is Pro SLX 1986 (because the frame has 62cm seat tube most of the tubes are SPX/SP - except for seat tube, maybe). A set of stickers is more suitable for 1992.

The only thing that bugs me about the otherwise excellent paint is the Corsa Extra sticker was placed too far back on the top tube!

D5122 was built at the end of 1992 in a series of profi-team numbers (between Telekom and Motorola) for the 1993 season. The "Inverted" Motorola colours are definitely the ASLK-CGER team. Congratulations
black beauty - if you want to "undo" it to 1986: remove "golden Corsa Extra", replace Columbus SLX with "old" design (the Columbus inscription on the sticker should be at the bottom) and replace the round sticker with the EU logo on the belt with two Belgian flags; if you want to "stay in 1992" you just need to "Corsa Extra" to move forward (or remove - it will be mysteriously...); it's a beautiful bike regardless of the stickers Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

I feel like I am going to a fortune teller to read my palms....
Emerxil pal, Thanks for volunteering your time and services, you are too kind! I have had two Merckx, a MXL and a Corsa Extra. Both were bought local in Austin TX and both have cracks on them, but I rode them anyway. The MXL has a crack on the head tube lug and is no longer in my stable. I tried to sell the Corsa Extra a while back but discovered a crack on the seat collar last minute so decided to pull the ad and use that as an excuse to keep it.  it wasn't there when I bought it so I think I must have over-tightened.I have started two separate threads when I first acquired them. I don't have the serial #s, sorry Emerxil. I guess I just want to share some pictures of these beautiful frames. The British racing green MXL https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=180576
