TNCLR, I met the owner of your old Merckx. Was it SLX? The seat stay and the fork are different than mine. From the looks of it, the geo is different too. Looks custom [hence the racer's name on the TT]...
Interesting.

That is perfect! Please tell me you have some track drops and it'll be seeing the 'drome plenty?! Have you thought of the dt swiss RR1.1's? they are a great rim, lighter and I think better constructed. That being said I like the ceramic OP's a ton and I have a set that I love.

I'd be inclined to believe IRD's Cadence rim (390g box rim) would be even better than that DT 1.1 after seeing how high quality their Cadence Aeros are (come very true and round, spoke tensions build up very evenly and stay that way).

ooo didn't even think about those. OP's are not on par with that build though, not that they're not nice just not GWP grade.

Spicer
Here's the Spicer I just got. It came with a brake, which I took off, and it did not come with pedals. It rides super sweet. The bars will be wrapped.
Comments welcome.

Yeah, it was different than yours despite the identical paint jobs. I seem to remember me and Sasha comparing serial numbers and yours was from 96? Mine was from 92-94. There was no sticker denoting the tubing used. It seemed a too new for SLX, but that is just a guess. I believe it was a custom frame for Etienne De Wilde. It measured 53 c-c seat w/ a 56cm top tube.
Here's a picture of him racing it:

Yeah, him and I were comparing sizes
and details. I noticed his seatstays weren't chromed but he did have the EM panto at the cluster like the Leader frames. His frame lacked the panto EM on the fork Crown. Thanks for the info.
Here's the kid who owned mine:
