Absolutely stunning Merckx Strada in Midnight Blue - it's an absolute beauty. See the pics for all the Merckx detail; Panto'd fork crowns, rear brake bridge etc. It has lovely cut-out lugs and the chrome is immense. Not sure what year it's from, given the paintwork it's obviously 90s but not sure of the exact year. I don't know much about Columbus Brain, all I know is this frame is pretty light.

Condition is excellent, there's a few small paint chips as you can see in the pics, but it really is in excellent condition.

Looking for £230 given the condition (Headset is not included, it's just keeping the forks in place).

Pick-up from London (Stoke Newington) or can post at cost.

Nice frame.

BB is english? I thought all Merckx were italian threaded.

Maybe I've got mixed up here, from memory it was 70mm which would make it Italian. I may have listed it wrong, will check tonight.

Nearly as nice as mine^ free bump

OK, so the BB is Italian threaded. The BB shell measures 70mm. Sorry for the confusion.

Absolute Bargain

If this frame is still here to-morrow I'll eat my Merckx Team Kelme Corsa Extra.

Seriously though, this is a really good deal.

Looks like you're eating your Merckx my friend.

Probably 97/98 though don't you think, based on the sequences we have already seen? Stradas were definitely made then.

PM Sent. Sod the christmas presents...

Sold

Just like to add I have eaten my Merckx Team Kelme. Went down well with some Moules Frites.

Not quite as tasty as a Colnago Master I had to eat a couple of years ago.

Well buff, especially for the price. Also surprised it took four days to sell!

Blame pre-Christmas quiet / broke time I think.

^ I tried to sell a Merckx frame on the forum twice, left it on for a couple of weeks, there was low to no interest. I put them on the 'bay and sold them for at least twice the amount I asked here to guys in Malaysia/Thailand/Indonesia. sometimes bargains just get overseen I guess.

so this was a very good price for such a Merckx. Congrats to the buyer
