SOLD
This is a beautiful and very rare 1990/91 Eddy Merckx Century TSX Team Motorola road bike frameset. This frameset is in beautiful original condition. There are some minor chips and scratches to Team Motorola paint, but it still looks stunning. No dings, dents or cracks. The chrome on the stays and dropouts is excellent.

The frame is the rare Century model that has slightly more relaxed geometry than the Corsa Extra and was favored by many of the team riders. The frameset is made from full Columbus TSX, which is "superbutted" Cyclex CrMo with continuous helical reinforcements...top of the line (better than SLX) in 1990. Front and rear drops are Merckx and the bottom bracket shell and lugs are also investment cast Merckx. Silva flying-v brake bridge, Merckx flat crown fork with TSX fork blades marked with the Columbus Dove stamp.
The frame serial number is D 7TTB C 7730, which decodes to 1990/91 57cm Century. The fork steerer is marked with a factory tag that reads NE 57 G891TM (original to this 57cm Team Motorola frame). The frame measures 57cm c-to-c on the seat tube and 56cm c-to-c on the top tube. 31.75" standover. This fits like a 56cm frame with the same standover height as my 56cm Corsa Extra, but the seat tube is longer due to a slightly more relaxed seat tube angle. Very comfortable long distance frame.
The Century frames rarely come up for sale. Even rarer in Team Motorola livery. Email with questions or for more details. Shipping to USA 48 will be $55. International to most locations will be about $90-125 depending on where.
Asking $799 USD
