The other frame, a Merckx Corsa Extra in Team Telecom colors, is a couple of years younger, possibly from 91/92. It is in good condition, but not as good as the Stuttgart frame, which looks pretty much like new.
I intend to rebuild the Telecom one(in Columbus TSX) with a lot of the components that were fitted when I bought it. There is an issue with the rear dropout alignment and/or the derailleur hanger. I have ordered some tools to try to straighten it up, might need some advice on that later...

Hi!
I think we can all agree that this is the greatest photo found on the internet:

I´ve been wanting a bike like that for quite a while (more than I´ve been wanting the semi-mullet on the awesome dude).
After some hesitation I got around to buy a frame just like it.
A Corsa Extra in the Team Stuttgart colour scheme (Columbus SLX), or the PK Banken colour scheme as it´s "known" here in Sweden (The bike on the right in the pics below).
Although there is a full specification chart on the right side of the picture, I will have a pretty relaxed view on how good a picture match is nescessary, mostly because I don´t to throw too much money away. The groupset will almost certainly be Campa CdA, which means I must take another bike apart. But I won't for example try to find a white Turbo Special as they seem to be rather pricey, but if anyone know where I can find a white ordinary Turbo for a decent price, let me know!I will probably keep the fitted headset, although I can´t identify what make it is, anyone?

Your Stuttgart is a really nice build btw, very close to what Im aiming for.
A nice, white leather saddle seems like a must on this build, suggestions?
