This is yet another Eddy Merckx build that has taken a long time to get born. Pretty sure this is the fourth Faema Merckx I've built, but the earlier ones all had something about them that was never quite right for me. On the other hand had a lot of time to do the planning on this one.

Fresh spray on a very solid early 80's Professional frame by Al Wanta, with DA 7400 6 speed, much of it NOS collected over several years. Built the wheels using DA7400 hubs, red anodized Velocity A23's (may yet de-sticker those) and Sapim DB stainless spokes. That's a Rolls Due saddle on a 6400 aero seatpost. Love that new graphene series of Vittoria tires!
