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.

That's a Kessles.

Are you loaded?

Genuine Merckx 531's were made in the mid 80's and as you can see, are quite pricey.

Look out for the pantographed EM logo on the top of the stays at the seat post lug. Really early Eddy Merckx had a signature at the top of the stays. If you get one of those you're onto a winner.
Also Early Merckx frames had Eddy Merckx cast into the front dropouts, but you need to take the wheel off to see that of course.
If the frame is missing these and it's made of steel it's probably pants. Unless it's a Molteni Colnago. But you're looking at a lot of cash for that.

Early Merckx road bikes had flat crowns until about 1984 when they started to use sloping crowns. The flat ones had Eddy on one side and Merckx on the other. The later sloping crowns had the EM logo. They made a Reynolds 531 frame in the mid 80's which has much finer seat stays and sloping fork crowns, these are rare and good ones are expensive. Most of the early ones (pre 1984) that you come across are Colombus SL tubes and these have flat crowns.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, but you've got to play the game like everyone else.

I did remove it when you asked me, but due to the amount of grief given to others on this forum when they do the same I've decided against it.

Plus you've got a dinky yellow star by your name so you should know better.
