eBay and Craigslist finds

I found another Roberts!! Keeps happening.... damn nice tho

^^ that merckx up there belongs to a forum member blix. he's from NL. i talked to him about the frame earlier, but we didn't come to an agreement. only now i've actually realized that it may not be an actual merckx frame, but only forks - wow! i seem to be very unlucky in my EM search =((

i think it's legit. the rear dropouts are stamped 'eddy merckx'.

it went for 800 - which is so little for ebay EM sale IMHO
how do you know they're stamped? i didn't see it in the pics
do you know blix?

i think that mercks is one of the frames made by mercks to Balk in NL. (i'm talking about the blue mercks with chrome fork)

this one has merckx on the dropouts

I've seen the blue one before but don't know about its merckxness...

^ ok, but it doesn't have chrome forks :)) the forks are merckx, MX Leader in fact, but the rest?.. i'm almost glad i didn't jump that ship, 800 is smthn i think i could've thrown in...

we call them balckx :)
but they are 100% made by merckx factory, so they are merckxes

dont know about that, maybe the frame came without a fork and he bought that separately, i dont know. Not sure the blue is a balckx either though, cant see the pics here at work just the one pic that is on the listing.
the one i sold was a balckx if the blue one looks like this

1) The blue ones seat pin/seat post clamp looks lower than the standard one I've seen
on all later merckx.

2) The head lug is cut out near the headset which is un-common.

3) the rear bridge is round (like this one) but on later models its panto'd.

4) the BB is cut out which is unusual.

I'm thinking the frame is a very old (70's ?) Merckx and the forks are later (80's or 90's) .

any other thoughts ?

blix is a member on here, maybe he can tell us
