This is a stunning example of an Eddy Merckx made high end racing bicycle.
*Made in about 1999
One owner from new.Owner bought this bicycle to train on and prepare for time trials.He used it only a few times before his work took him overseas. The bike remained in dry storage until , some years later he returned to UK and once again had time for cycling. By then his preference was for touring. As a result the Merckx has remained unused since.The bicycle has very little evidence of use and is really in a near perfect condition. The frame, group set and wheels are almost in the condition they were when new.The frame comes with the original fork - when new the customer opted for a Chrome fork. The original colour coded/ decal scheme matching Columbus fork in yellow has never been used other than when originally fitted to the whole bike ( the result is a couple of little marks where the brake callipers sat) . It's yours to decide if it should now be used.
The bike is for sale and we reflect it's superbly outstanding condition in the price listed.

As well as these signs of character there may also be some signs of rust (faint and few) and some signs of mottling on the chrome. Where possible we have tried to show these on photographs. These small imperfections are commensurate with what is expected of a bike of this age.The bikes are not new.
