[MENTION=448872]CyclesMakaron[/MENTION] I don't know if you have any interest in them, but does your amazing encyclopedic knowledge of Merckx bikes include titanium ones built by Litespeed in the mid to late 90's?

I've got a Merckx EX titanium, and can find little about them online really and was just trying to find out any more info about these bikes I can. All I know is unlike the AX model which was all 3/2.5 ti, the EX has some cool ovalised 6/4 tubes to improve with stiffness. It has my favourite Merckx decals ever with blue script and with a deep yellow shadow, and came with a 1 inch threaded carbon Kestral fork which is of the time and has the Merckx logo stamped on the rear drop outs.

From my admittedly not great google skills, the only ones I found online with a date that had the same graphics were from 1995 and the other I think was 1997. As I understand it the early Merckx ti bikes built by Litespeed were all built to Eddy's geometry, Century geometry? From what I can see it looks like Merckx started making its Titane frames in Belgium from about 1997??, and I assume when they started doing ti in house they stopped using Litespeed, so I assume my frame is from before 1997, but don't know if there was any overlap or what periods exactly Litespeed built frames for Merckx.

I thought I'd check with you first before posting some pics, which I can do here later if you approve/are interested, or if I was better advised trying to date frame and find other info from Litespeed. I was also keen to know if these frames ever used in any pro races, do you or anyone know, and if so who rode them and what races?

Any info gratefully received, many thanks.
