- Eddy Merckx Strada early ( markings on BB cover: M --- note: this is not the same M from previous frames - see: Decoding of Eddy Merckx frames; and do not look at cadre.org - sorry, no offense).
- Strada is a simple continuation of the 3-Athlete production, Reynolds 501 has been changed to Columbus Cromor.
(it is difficult to distinguish these two models - without looking at the factory markings and visible Columbus / Reynolds stickers - until Strada lost the chain bridge, and then the break bridge was changed).
- "old" Eddy Merckx stickers were used.- production: ~ A1500 --- ~ B4000 ( 86/87 - 1989 ).
