I’d love a Merckx

Nice! Looks great

I'm hardly the expert on here. But I don't think that's quite right.

It's a re-incarnated poo brown Langster.

The only person with authority on this is @Señor_Bear

Why?

We're a tough crowd. What did it start as? Also, what is going here:

Steel frame of the early 90's with an adapter from 1 "to 1 1/8" and a spacer to hide it.

That is not an early 90s steel Pinarello. A late 90s aluminium one maybe.

Magnets solve everything.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but it's steel

It's not the sort of bike that makes people on here swoon, but as long as you like it that's all that matters.

I'm sure it's got a nice personality.

No problem, I know it's not an old-fashioned frame, but it always remains a steel welded in Italy in the 90 '.

Would probably suit all black stem/seatpost/bartape/tyres. And de-stickered rims.

The seat post is hexagonal in titanium and the black handlebar tape is coming soon.

I'm happy to stand corrected (but the oversized tubing, and to a lesser extent the TIG welding aren't screaming early 90s).

What model/year is it?

Strangely, there was no written model and the old owner bought it in 1995 or so he told me.

This would look so much better with a quill stem instead of this ahead turd

This came to my mind

whats with this 'live laugh love' attitude ?!

It won't last

This sort of era, but dropouts and seat stay profile looks all wrong.

~1997

in mine the same profile was used for the horizontal and vertical tube joined by a kind of conjunction
