Selling my Merckx cyclocross bike. Its branded Karel Mintjens. Story goes he used to race with Eddy Merckx and when his racing career ended he opened a furniture business and had a team who all rode bikes made by merckx and would sometimes sell them or raffle them off. It measures 54cm square c-c. It's a pretty unique beast. Can fit up to 700x41c tires which is pretty unusual for a bike of this age. Especially a race bike like this one. It has no bosses of any kind. Mostly used it as a fun around town bike and gravel bike. Has wear from use but otherwise in good condition. No rust or dents but paint has scratches.
Current setup
Ultegra 10 speed front and rear derailleur
Paul cantis
Paul thumbies with 10 speed shifters
White industries cranks 44/32 chainrings

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
