Eddy Merckx - HELP Needed and Advice
Hi Folks
Recently purchased this Eddy Merckx bike. I know very little about it and am having a problem dating it and finding exactly which model it is. Unfortunately stickers have been removed from the bike making it a little more difficult.
There is a serial number underneath BB which reads 96 682 and G1865.
I have a feeling that it could be a 1993 Corsa (02) and I am saying this because it has Shimano 600 Groupset and I understand that 1993 was when the bikes came with Shimano 600 Groupset.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Looks like an Alu Team or Alu Sprint.
Serial number doesn't fit with the Tears for Gears database https://www.tearsforgears.com
I would have put it more recent than 1993 other than the 600 Group.

Thanks for the assistance. From what I have found out you may be on the right path. It is definately a Alu frame. Managed to get hold of local company who has emailed EM in Belgium direct for more info.
Will post exactly what EM it is as soon as I know more
