Any thoughts on Merckx frames?
If I were to consider stripping a current frame of its componentry and rebuilding onto this frame, is this a decent option in the endurance carbon camp for caliper brakes?

I would have bought that bike last year if the price would have been better (105 version was a couple hundred more dollars than my Giant). The frame is light and looks great.

I wonder what size tyre it would fit?
The stated 990gm for frame/fork is not believable so I don't know what the real weight would be.

I would be moving over campy chorus group and campy wheelset.
Also, the downer is the custom seatpost shape supposedly, but if it works it works, I guess.
