FOR SALE: Eddy Merckx MX Leader

Eddy Merckx MX Leader (c. 1992) 58cm!

A former colleague won this frame, but riding for a shop team (on their own brand bikes), he used it for a short time and gave it too his dad. Depending on your taste, his dad may the wise/foolish move of having it re-sprayed (it started out in what I've seen referred to as tuti fruti). However, he'd already ordered his dream titanium frame, so once that bike turned up, it the Merckx remained a spare bike. As such the frame is in excellent condition, with just a few small dents, incurred whilst in storage (I've tried to show them in the photos).

The frame came to me with a skinny carbon fork; the Culumbus Minimal looks far better, the shape being somewhat reminiscent of the Columbus Max fork. Only it's much lighter!

Shame about the dents & no Max fork

Nice frame, but I cannot follow the price.

My offer: £200 posted, for the bare frame (without any of the other items)

PM me if that sounds acceptable.

Jetski, I guess some appreciate wabi whilst others don't. As it happens, the dents on this frame are hardly noticeable when the frame is built up.

For anyone wanting a fully retro build, then yeah, Max forks would be great. However, they are hefty! Hence it coming to me without them, and why I went with more modern build.

Also on retrobike ?

Could you tell me the length of tha' top tube?
