Hi! excavations, sorry: frame from 1981 (it is not 222 specimen produced by EMCycles, before E series was produced ~1000 frames in 1980), letters A,B,F,G,P do not mean Professional model (do not use cadre.org, it is a waste of time), X = SLX, V is probably a designation of unusual frames (show, private Merckx frames). Long lugs" was used in ~1500 frames (I guarantee that Ugo De Rosa did not build them all - truth be told there is no proof that even one frame sold as "Eddy Merckx" was built by the Master), similarly to the dropouts of "De Rosa-style", flat fork crowns, etc. The bike is simply beautiful (just throw "12 stars on a blue background" - this sticker is 1992...)
