I, in no way, am going to pretend to be a Merckx expert but Reynolds 531?

Wow. It has black double budded spokes. :lol:

Check out seller's other auctions....need a maternity bra?

Crummy pics, but enough to see it's not all Super Record as described, either. Pass.

There were some built with 531 which I personally would love as it is one of my favorite tube sets.

It has an older Nuovo Record front derailleur and black cable housings - no big deal.

Personally, I would love a Merckx with that fork crown. It is a bit pricy but....if you want a nice Merckx sometimes you have to pay the price.

I have seen Reynolds 531 Merckx framesets.
