Sold - Eddy Merckx Strada (56cm) (1988)

[eddie_spaghetti]

For sale - beautiful 1988 Eddy Merckx Strada in Magenta/White fade, handmade in Meise, Belgium. (Largely original) spec below. A few age related chips to the paint, and the tires have age related cracking but otherwise superb condition. Was the previous owners second bike and has been hanging in a garage for 10 years unused.

Fit for someone around 5'6 to 5'10 depending on proportions. Desperately wanted it to fit me, but it doesn't.

Re:

Hi,

Sorry for the amateur question, but...

I am 5’10”. Realistically do you think that the bike would be too small?

All best wishes.

Re:

I'm 5'10 and it's too small for me. But it does depend on proportions. If you have particularly short legs you might be alright.
