price?

Haha, good question.
Well just had 250£ costs on it, (got it back from the shop 14/01/2011).
So, around 420£, ill be in London soon, so might be able to take it with me

Any chance you can put the old wheels, saddle, cable, shifters and bar tape back and I'll give you £170 for it?

prays to the gods of logic

Lol, ill think about it.
But idd rather sell it as one piece.
But i could put in the original pieces

Think i might have made a mistake on the currency, it just had little less than 300£ costs
Willing to drop price to 380£ for the bike as it is, or with clickpedals.
Grtz

is this still for sale? if so do you have a serial number?

Yes it is, found one number 6 210 2. Or is that not the number that you are looking for?

Sorry...I thought you were selling Eddy Merckx himself

Woudn't that be illegal :D

Woudn't that be illegal :D

Possibly, but postage costs would probably be prohibitive

hahaha

Adjusted title for future misreads :D

Illegal? Maybe but it would be very expensive as a very large box would be needed for the said EM is now on the large size!.....a little bump for your troubles.

Free bump! Could you tell us what model and type of tubing it is?

I'll post it tomorrow after my exam :-)

So not sure on what the model is, but i found a letter G with some numers on the buttom.
Just no idea what they mean.
The tubing is defenitly steel, did a little test with a magnet, since alloy isn't attracted by steel :-).
But about the frame, i measured it again, from center of the bracket to where the seatpost starts, and it's 63 cm.
Hope this is the correct framesize :-)

Price drop 350£

Throw up more specs pal. Nice paint job, bike looks really nice.

Any idea what model it is? Certainly not pre a 90s frame - not a Corsa Extra, Strada, MX Leader etc, and definitely not aluminium? My admittedly non-exhaustive knowledge of Merckx frames runs out at this point. Anyone else know?

Right, answering my own question almost immediately after asking it... This seems to be a Merckx Arcobaleno. Not one I'd ever heard of before I have to say. See http://prollyisnotprobably.com/2010/02/01/mxl_german_catalog_90s.php for a catalogue scan. Columbus Neuron steel apparently, though I'm not certain where that fits in the hierarchy of good to not-quite as good. Does it have the seatpost bolt integrated into the toptube?

Yes it does xdamr

i'll call the Merckx center tomorrow and ask

unusual bike nice paint job though, merckx do seem to do nice paint jobs.

Sorry...I thought you were selling Eddy Merckx himself

Whoah - that's what I thought as well.
