Eddy Merckx folder 1989
- necessary information for some: "folder" does not mean "folding bike" in this case... this is important
- general remarks from the "Eddy Merckx folder 1997" are valid
- This is a compilation of 3 different editions (made in autumn 1988 and slightly later) for the 1989 season
- the first "generation" of markings appeared (series with "P at the end")
AP (ADR 88), WP (Domex/Weinmann 89), BJP (La William 89), XP (Lotto 88), SE (7-Eleven 89/90 - exception), HP (Hitachi 88/89), DP (Stuttgart 89/90), RP (Kelme 87)
...and XY on top of that (I don't know if it means the whole scheme or specific colors)
- Interesting facts: guys on white caps have K. MINTJENS written on them; stickers on the fork are also an option.
- Sensations (not confirmed in "real life"): information about Corsa Extra built with R653 (!) and 531SL (!!)...

Just remember that EMC "certainly didn't build any folding bike"... it's simple
...I wanted to distinguish these threads from all those brochures, catalogues...
...check out the google: it works flawlessly...
...I could use a weirder word, but in several languages (e.g. Dutch/flemish - this is important) there will be no doubt...
