Eddy and this bike couldn't be farther apart. If you had bought a Colnago or even a DeRosa or a Peugeot and mentioned Eddy maybe you might have something but really not much unless it was a similar frame to what he rode or had some direct lineage.

This is a cheap frame from Bikes Direct that uses a name they bought out to give bikes prestige. I get that they mention someone named Eddie but maybe they are referring to Eddie Munster who did ride a SS Schwinn stingray-esque bike designed by George Barris and Von Dutch I believe or maybe deceased NYC messenger Fast Eddie but he rode an Dave Molton frame (not built for him but very nice hand built bike) and I don't think had any ties to BD.
