Unless it is a respray of the original colors from 7-11 or other livery, it is not from 88/89’, as this is the Motorola paint and they came out after the 7-11 team era, starting in ‘91. Am sure Emerxil will chime in with the details though. |

Frame built in January 1990, unknown original paint job, unknown tubes - but all hope is not lost...
Show me some photos of the steering tube card and the inside of the tubes visible through the BB cover - we will fight |

I do know that TM is the color code for Team Motorola colors.

The first piece of good news is that the frame was repainted in EMC (1992+) to the TM or Team Motorola scheme.
The word "later" indicates repainting at EMC. The "12 stars" sticker was introduced in 1992. It remains to determine the tube model. |

I have this frame described as a Corsa Extra SLX, the odd thing is the lack of X and frame size.

Hello again! Asking for your input on one. BB shell has H 858 B and it's sprayed in GAN team colors from the 95-98'ish seasons. Top tube indicates Corsa Extra.

Sorry, too late
It is not known what the frame is - certainly built at the turn of 88/89, certainly rebuilt and repainted in 1994 at the earliest. The absence of an X could mean Reynolds tubing or a frame for the profi. |

Thanks again sir! I'm looking forward to getting it in hand and seeing if there are other markings I can find on the frame or fork.

I got the frame and found matching numbers on the fork. The decal on the fork is in pretty rough shape but it appears to have a B.---- (unable to read) at the top, Chrome (I assume that refers to the fork since it's chrome), another word ending in k that I can't read, finally 58/653 or maybe 58/683. Does this mean anything?
