Superb, though what he said ^^ Also, any chance you'll consider splitting, I'm desperately trying to track down a new eddy after mine suffered s fatal bb wound. Sad face.

Concerning the painting: i'm not sure if it is the original painting. I asked a local Eddy Merckx dealer who said the painting and colour is original. But if it is repainted or not, the condition of the painting is in any case very nice.

Odd that they didn't paint in the engraving - I'd expect black if this were the original paint. But then the fork isn't painted in either, and that wasn't repainted, so ???

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
