Work in progress

I've been building up an Eddy Merckx frame I bought on t'ebay over the past week or so. It's close to completion so I had to share it with someone!

I just need to add pedals and bar tape and it'll be good to go. The plan is to ride it at Herne Hill.

However long is that stem?!?

120 mm. I need it - I have similar proportions to your average gibbon. ;)

it looks fast and tight, should rip HH

It's a nice bike, Orang-Utan geo or no. Low-flange C-Rec hubs?

Is that Aero post near it's end?

They're Miche low flange ones. I wanted Record but my budget dictated otherwise. Plus you always have to have something to upgrade, right? ;)

Is that Aero post near it's end?
Yes, absolutely on the limit. I can't seem to find a longer one although I think Campagnolo did them towards the end of their production.

I'll keep looking. I've a Record Titanium non-aero seat post on another bike that may end up on this one.

proper gorge like.

tilt those bars down a little bit maybe?

Yeah, will do. Only just noticed that they are a bit high

the bars look good for the track, when riding in the drops position..

don't forgot the seatpost bolt ;)

very nice

Lovely.

Noticed it was missing last night and it was added. But thanks!

I wish I could see this bike.
My college blocks andy's photobucket for no reason.

From the length of the head-tube I'd say it's a fairly large frame, 58 or bigger? But with the length of the stem and the fact you've got the saddle set right back on its rails is the frame a tad small for you? Lovely bike all the same.
