Also remember it is well documented Merckx needed De Rosa as technical consultant at start up of his brand ..
If I'm not mistaken the company was started with Ugo DeRosa as partner. I would not be surprized if DeRosa had a share until the very end.
Since the barn was primarily focused on making steel some Merckx Alu frames were said to have been made in Italy (probably by DeRosa) to Merckx specs.
