The Eddy Merckx w/ photos
just finished my EM project. Its pretty much all D/A 7400 era parts except the cranks and BB which had to be replaced. Its super fast and stiff (SLX steel). enjoy the show. thanks for looking.
it helps if you have a higher screen resolution the images are large.

I owned the exact same bike in the early 90s, except that it had the blue chevrons rather than the red. Nicest riding bike I've ever owned and it fit me like a glove. Hope to find one again some day.
