Very well-worn frame in 7-Eleven red/green with no number boss.

S C1949 - frame built in summer 1990, no indication of tube type or model; photos would be helpful

A8X Z8090 - very early 1986 Corsa Extra SLX

Another friendly request from a fellow Merckx enthusiast to include photos in your posts. It's enjoyable for all to see the various versions available over the years.

thanks emerxil, you are a genius, sorry I did not ask to upload photos as it will not let me upload the file, as a direct complement that the first frame (c1949) has the team colors kelme blue-pink-green and a sticker retnolds 753, forest. saddle lugs are round with no etching, eddy merckx dropouts on the rear chainstays and fork, no inner ribbing on the tubes and a silva rear brake caliper.

the second frame of the z series has the team panasonic colors, saddle lugs without logo and also round ones, campagnolo dropouts on the rear chainstays and fork, in this case the bridge is not silva and has brev inscribed.? It also has inner ribs and the fork is columbus. It does not have a frame sticker.

Kelme looks serious

Corsa Extra 753 or Grand Prix...
If you can check the paper sticker on the steering tube, maybe it has persisted.
Silva produced 3 versions of the bridge and only the last one is "signed"
The choice is either a Gipiemme "cube" bridge or a "flat" one with Eddy Merckx written on it (the Corsa Extra should have the latter).
Unfortunately I am not a genius

Thank you in advance for taking the time to do all this legwork. It is a great service to your fellow PL'ers!

I have a EM Caloi team bike. It has a race number tab, and decals with Kevin Livingston's name. I believe it is his bike from the 95 season. Anything you can offer? I'm curious about the tubing it might be built from.

Emerxil · #**294** 10-29-2021, 12:35 AM

This is a frame belonging to the 1st series built in the fall of 1994 for Motorola/Caloi for the 1995 season.
I haven't seen the symbol of that paint scheme (TMC on the sticker) yet - thanks

An impressive amount of detailed information.

Afternoon all, so this maybe a simple request or not as I have searched and searched and seem to be going round in circles so have come to the 'font knowledge' ,hopefully you can help. Bottom Bracket Markings are H on left side B 9038 on the right- all original paint but no Tubing sticker - so I believe its a 88/ 89 and SLX tubing but with the 'fastback rear stays' and no frame size stamp all throws it into confusion, please help Thanks
