EDDY MERCKX VALUE

Most are the 'special' or 'club special' which have the vanilla frame. Decent photos would allow the exact model, thanks to Ned's helpful catalogue post.

As I understand it Falcon and Kessel had a marketing deal to produce the 'Merckx' bikes. I think there's a decal that says 'approved' by Merckx and Eddy got his royalties.

Probably for sales purposes Falcon offered a low end Merckx model but also produced the Merckx Super Competition which was a decent machine.

Re:

The Super competition was a cracking machine . Campag N R/ gears& brakes,c/s brooks pro , Campag pedals,Cinelli bars stem , Camapag LF hubs, Clement tubs
Special long point lugs, 531 butted throughout oval forks .
As nice as any other offering of the time .
 
This should be in the How Much is it worth section, but better here than in the complete bikes for sale section that is about to be deleted :)
Please try not to duplicate the same post in different sections.
Cheers
