Eddy Merckx Professional 1985

bikestuart · Jun 13, 2015

Bought the frame for this on eBay...1985 Professional per the BB stamp...fitted it up with Campy Super Record components. Built some wheels on the large flange Record hubs with Mavic SUP rims. Added a Brooks saddle...rides like a dream.

Lovely.
Need more photos though.

Were these frames in the Molteni colours a limited run? Does it have Eddys picture on the headtube?

I have more photos of course...

Lovely bike but hopefully you have turned the brake blocks round to stop them flying out of the holders when you brake.

Ha ha, yes they were switched before the first ride, but well spotted from these photos! :shock:

Very good build - attention to detail is rewarded in the end result. SR groupset is timeless, cracking job.

Very nice bike!
Just needs another saddle IMHO like Cinelli, SI Turbo etc..

Lovely bike. The forks must have been changed as they say MXL which I'm sure was a later period tube set.

that is a good looking bike! Love the orange eddies. 9/10 only thing i would complain about is the handlebars, their drops seems weird. a higly subjective opiniton, i like 3t grand prix
