    this bike will bring controversy i think

    Like about the fact that it's not actually a Merckx? :)
    I could be wrong, but i've yet to see a Merckx lo-pro that wasn't lugged...the dropouts are different, the seat clamp is different, their are none of the usual Merckx markings on the frame, BB (usually have shapes underneath and a strengthening web behind), seatstays, bridge as far as i could see in the original pics.
    If i'm wrong and it has definate Merckx features then you have my apologies.
    It's a nice frame anyway whatever it is so i hope you enjoy it once it's set up how you want.
