E. Merckx Team Capri Sonne + Campa 50th Anniversary

I came across your story & think its great! Well done & its a just reward for an early morning start. Im sure the original owners would be delighted that the bikes have found a good home after being unappreciated for some years. I have an Merckx from about82 - same forks but with the loopy EM logo on the stays. From the reading I did when I got it I think that yours may be so early it was actually built by De Rosa - it really is lovely & makes the current garish frames with his name on look like a child`s colouring competition gone wrong.
I wrote to the factory but got no replies about my frame, my son did a tour of Holland & Belgium on the tandem in the spring & made a special detour to go to his factory, but then discovered it had moved! I do hope you enjoy it for many years.
Best wishes, Julian

Thanks for your reply! I also think I've read somewhere that the very early/first EM frames were built by De Rosa, I just can't find that source anymore. I've been thinking about contacting the factory, but I think it won't matter as it has been sold. I wonder how much they still know about the old times/early days.

Thanks for the video link too, really really interesting.
