Hi there-
I'm trying to see what my 1980/1981 Merckx is worth. I've sent the serial number in to the company so I'll have that information soon, but I know it was either 80 or 81 because I bought it myself and I've been the only owner.
I'm selling it as a package with an original Merckx wool jersey, the original brochure that came with the bike, and a Merckx duffel bag from the same year. I have a website with pictures on it here:

The bike is in fair condition. It would definitely need to be refinished. It has all of the original campagnolo parts. The fork is from the 80s as well but was replaced from the original because it cracked.
This is one of the first Merckx bikes sold. I'm trying to find out what something like this is worth as a whole package to a collector. If anybody is an interested buyer, please let me know as well.
