Wanted: Merckx pantographed chainring etc

Found

There's a crackin Merckx cross bike on eBay at the mo if you can pick up in Yorkshire

Thanks, mate.. Found it, but the frame I'm after should be a bit older :)

Found one, which I'm considering. Still open to offers!

What are you willing to spend on it?

Good question :) I guess I'm willing to pay what is worth - of course it depends on condition and if the perfect frame shows up, (early model, perfect size etc) the budget is large.. If it needs restoration, the budget is smaller accordingly. Frequently, there's some professional frames on eBay and I was hoping to find one within that price range. Hope it makes sense, though I'm not being that specific, price-wise 😀

I asked because I'm selling a Merckx frameset (F+F).

It's an early 59 cm (CT) Professional (1982 or 1983) made from Reynolds 531 tubing (serial number A9R F5504) with fully chromed original Merckx forks. Frame is in very good condition, no dings or dents or worse. Paint is still original and there are nearly no paint chips, just some minor rubbing on the toptube (caused by the outer brake cable). Chromed stays and forks are in superb condition, are still very shiny and have no rust spots.

I'm looking for 400 € (+ shipping). If you want, I can sell you a 100 mm Cinelli Eddy Merckx pantographed stem for another 50 €.

Will post pictures in a minute.

Thanks for your offer.. It looks like it is in great condition - almost to good for new paint, and I guess I would choose to give it that ;) I'll consider it quickly !

True, paint is almost too good to be resprayed but on the other hand (an honoustly speaking): Merckx produced better colour schemes than this one so it won't be a big loss having it resprayed. ;-)

Price can be negotiated (a bit...).

Updated post, frame found - parts wanted

Amazed people ask for stuff in the uk as its not the cheapest place to buy vintage Campag, especially when ebay is ramping prices up nicely. Good Super record rear mech is £75 to 100 now, brake sets old record brake sets £150 up, chainsets anything from £75 up for a decent one not needing new rings and cranks! Headsets £50 upwards. If you have nice bits hang on to them before the Re mortgage to buy arrives!

Amazed that I search for quite specific pantographed parts? The SR parts also mentioned is just because I'm also I need of those in this project and perhaps some people have both to sell together, so why not mention it? Funny though, non of the the offers I got through this thread (initially looking for a frame) was made from uk based members :-)

amazing .

Thank you for your kind contribution
