Eddy Merckx MX Leader - ?Weightweenie?

I guess this project is pretty much done 😐.. That was quick.. God dammit..

Now, time to start looking for a carbon frame..

edit: still going to get it repainted though!

excuse me to willfully ask again why the repaint?! such rad, much puppykilling, wow

I think the key thing to take away from this is: nobody thinks you should repaint this bike.

Apart from, you know, the owner.

But yeah, don't repaint it.

I have just the one (or two)

;)

My 2p, paint is rad and it would be difficult to weight weenie it
buttttt
it's your bike, if you want a light, repainted merckx then you do you
and you can be sure that it would be pretty unique once done

not sure if serious etc

sorry no meme font

Lol!

Going to keep this thread open and update when frame gets repainted.

Again, I'm not repainting because of grams, I'm respraying because I want it resprayed to my liking.

It better be flipping good to match the bike

So, was it repainted ? 😅

(Asking it as the previous owner of the frame, ya know...) 😁

I really hope not!

Well on one hand I'd say "Me too" and on the other I'm pretty curious.

Also, i don't have my say on that since it's not mine.

When it was, it was looking like this : https://www.pedalroom.com/bike/sold-my-94-merckx-mx-leader-10391
