Eddy Merckx folder 1987

- general remarks from the "Eddy Merckx folder 1997" are valid
- I discovered the principle of operation of this folder (if it was to be "intuitive", my intuition failed for 2 years...) only when I took it in my hands... hence the order of the photos
- the "gold stickers" were widely introduced and the officially produced models were given the name
- Corsa Extra is in the new colors of the Lotto 1987 team
- It is worth comparing descriptions in different languages (and for different markets)... Oh, those little differences...

I would have suggested that you use the word brochure, or perhaps catalogue, in your thread title.

I, too, was excited at the idea of the Merckx folding bike.

This comment seems reasonable, if not brilliant.

Translating for the OP, who clearly is not a native speaker of English:

Please look for the thread titled "Eddy Merckx folder 1997" in the Classic-Vintage subforum.
