Eddy Merckx Photos
I just thought some of you would like to see these. These are from a 1972 Miroir De Cyclisme Magazine I just recently got. I might upload more of what's in them later. Enjoy!

Re pic no. 1: that should be in the dictionary next to the definition for "hard."
Re pic no. 2: 31 miles in one hour, wool shorts, no TT bars, no space alien helmet. Unfrickinbelievable. Re pic no. 3: Perfection. |
That 1st one is bad*****$$$$$$$

And I seemed to remember, he used to smoke. Imagine what he would have been like without the cigarattes.

Can you re-submit in a form that could be clipped, and turned into a screen saver, etc.? Awesome pic.!

That first photo makes me feel like a big old girl's blouse. I'd be at home on the couch, nursing my wounds with a cold beer.
Any guesses as to what year that was (centerpulls)? Sorry, I don't know my Eddy history as well as I should. |

You should be able to Right-click on the pictures and "save-as". After that, you can applythem as a background, screensaver, etc. If not, I can email it to you, but it should work.

Thanks for the great scans.
Merckx had the greatest expressions. Here's another Paris-Roubaix one, this time from 1970: http://www.fivenineclimber.com/image...ubaix_1970.jpg |
Jan--- It's on its way. Just got to get the Tracking number from the wife as she took it to the post office.:thumb:
|
Looks like I'm going to post some more photos as people seem to like them. Most are in black and white though.

Gilberto, thanks to your images I spent most of this Saturday evening reading up on the history of Eddy Merckx, instead of spending time with my family. I am now in the doghouse.
