I hope this counts...an Eddy "Balk" Merckx from 1995. Columbus Cromor tubing. Used to be owned by cycling club "De volharding" and judging by the good state only used on track. The owner got a Giant from a sponsorship so no more use for this. Met the people in the shop, nice folk.
Replaced (but kept) the Miche cranks/seatpost and stem/saddle, the wheels are original. (Ambrosio Profile on Miche, tied and soldered spokes)
Balk always seems to kit their bikes with Miche.
Colours are very similar to this Team Vlaanderen Merckx: http://www.hilarystone.com/images/sale%20images/Frames%20Continental%20&%20Italian/Merckx-yellow-lopro-on-whls.jpg
A lovely ride, despite the stiff wheels and frame it's still very comfortable on crappy roads. Nice lugs, nice V-finishing on the chrome, and a pretty bright paintjob.
