Bike #3: Merckx
The Merckx finally turned up from the depths of the attic:
I originally bought the frame with a Fondriest steel fork and a horrible burgundy powdercoat. And being drunk at the time, I paid way too much. On the other hand it was in pretty good nick, pretty light and with good chrome. The frame - including the horrible powdercoat - weighs in at 1850 grams. The fork - I assume it's a Mizuno from the outline of the sticker residue - showed up locally for a decent price. Would have preferred something full carbon, but it'll do for now. I had a Dura Ace 7700 group for it, but sold it during one of the earlier clearout-attempts, so right now I don't really have a plan for it. The easiest solution would be to use a pair of RS10's that I already have and the Rival groupset from the Asmussen. The lovely @Oscar has a 130mm 1" Ahead ITM stem and bar combo, that would fit nicely, which would mean that I could complete it for less than £30.
