"Questions: I have a lot of questions, I hope some people could help me out here
Is what I have really an Eddy Merckx Professional bicycle
Are the components all Campagnolo Super Record?
Anyone has an idea of the tubing? As there are no stickers anymore, I have no idea..
How can I get paint from a chromed fork? Can this be done without damaging the chrome?
How can I get paint from a frame?"
Hi
I can answer three of your questions.
You have an Eddy Merckx Professional, something like 1983/4. Letter E + over the top of BB cable routing with late fork crowns.(Early ones were flat)
Colombus SL tubes not 531 as the joint between rear dropout and seat stay has no tapered shoulder on it and no R stamped on BB
Super Record stuff.
Nice bike, you're lucky.
