Two frames - Merckx and Nervex-lugged polo bike

Posted on
  • First up is a red Eddy Merckx MX Leader, 63cm C-C and 65cm C-T with a 61cm TT C-C (i.e. only the really lanky need apply!)

    Has been well loved, and hence there is one small dent on the top tube, and some scratches to the paint. The fork is chromed under the paint though, and the drive-side chainstay and both dropouts are also chromed. Photos when I get a moment! Horizontal but with geared dropouts

    £150 for F&F including a Campagnolo headset

    The second one is a bit of a curates egg. It's a classic English lightweight - lovely curly Nervex lugs, and incredibly lightweight tubing. Rattlecan sprayed blue. 57cm C-C on ST and TT. Horizontal dropouts, but not track ones. Photos on request.

    Some kind soul left this outside my house one morning. I was going to build it, but dropped it off with the police to check if it was stolen. Whilst in their custody it got a nice dent in the top tube. It's still straight and will probably ride fine (might even be nice enough for a top tube replacement and a respray) but I'm selling it as a polo bike build.

    £20 for F&F including an unknown headset

  • interested in pics of merckx

  • Pics of the Merckx now here - I'm sorry I didn't have time to clean it, but it'll look a lot better when I do!

  • Hi Simon, been looking for a nice big frame for ages, my back's suffering on my 61cm frame. 'll give you a P.M! Cheers

  • how tall are you?

  • 6'5 or there abouts, disproportionately long legs though, almost circus worthy

  • do you have any pictures of the polo bike? seems interesting

  • I'll take that Merckx off your hands if it has't been snapped up yet.

  • pics for the polo bike, please

  • Merckx has now been sold, pics of the polo bike are here, I've tried to highlight the dent with a red circle in one of the photos:

    I'm in Hammersmith, so you're welcome to come and have a look or I can probably bring it to Westie drinks tommorrow evening.

  • lugs look very nice
    unfortunately too large for me.

  • Hi Simon

    I will take the polo frame if it is still available. I've PM'd you.
