Re: sold

The price of the Eddy Merckx track bike has been cut to appr. USD 13,000 now.

Re: Well it looks like the real thing and early track bikes are very rare. For collectors. But he's selling this one as "very early", and I'm not too sure about that. He says in the listing: "Bottom Bracket Serial #: A7 E929 "A" means that this was a "Professional" series track bike. "7"...
