  1. I was wondering if anyone out there has ridden both of these frames from Merckx ? I have a Corsa
    frame I bought in 86 and have ridden it all over the state of Colorado and am getting concerned
    about having toooooo many miles on it and have decided I would like a newer MX Leader but am sorta
    concerned about how it will handle compared to my older more upright 86 Merckx with a 74degree
    seatpost angle? the newer MX leaders are a more relaxed 72.39 degrees. Any opinions or experience
    out there? Also anyone have or know of a 57 or 58 cm MX leader for sale? Need older vesion with
    Chrome chainstays......don't like newer non chromed ones. Thanks Charles R Johnston Jr. [email hidden]

    This concern makes very little sense. But if you want a new bike that's OK with me. :-)

    That factor should not affect handling at all if you put the saddle in the correct place.

    If the 74 degree seattube angle fits, i would wonder if the 72 and change one would even fit ya.
