Also "brake/sh*t levers" is a very good typo

Eddy Merckx 55cm Road Bike - $700 (Georgetown)





That’s a 1985 Professional. I have one with C record group - first time I’ve seen one besides my own. That’s Kelme team colors from ‘85 BTW. That would be a good pickup for a local, especially if you can get the price down a little. Only concern I would have is how the 753 steel handled having a 10 speed wheel jammed in the rear dropouts.
