Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:625584Brand: Eddy Merckx
Frame Size: 56 cm
Original Description:
Beautiful! 56cm Eddy Merckx MX-Leader Bike Frameset Vintage 90's Columbus MAX tubes
This frame is in Fantastic Shape for its Age, and is ready to be ridden hard for many many more miles!

This pup is the real deal! The Massive oversized tubes deliver an insanely stout Stout Bottom Bracket, and produce Super Snappy
Sprints!
57x stamp on the bottom of the BB shell. This indicates a 57cm c-t-t measured seat-tube. The bike measures 56.5x56.5 cm square geometry. I’m a 6’...-0” rider and it fits me great. Head tube is around 150-155mm.
Standard 27.2 mm seatpost, 73 mm Italian threaded Bottom Bracket, accepts a 1" threaded headset for quill stems, threaded dropout adjuster screws, and 2 sets of bottle cage mounts. Has nice internal top tube routing for the rear brake, and a pump peg for a frame mounted pump.

The bike will happily accept old school 6-7 speed freewheel setups, as well as all modern 10-11-12 groupsets. I had the bike kitted with Campagnolo Record 10 and some G3 Zonda wheels. What a bike!
This Eddy Merckx MX-Leader is the creme of the crop. I have ridden all levels of the Merckx Catalog, and this is the pinnacle of the lineup hands down! I found it was an almost perfect middleground of stiffness in between that of a traditional steel frame (with much more flex) and a super stiff carbon frame. This frame was lightly used for about 500 miles on Sunday rides, and never saw any race action under my ownership. You can definitely see that the bike has its fair share of chips, nicks and scrapes, but there are NO DENTS OR DINGS anywhere on the frame. I have tired to capture the feel of the patina on the frame and most of the cosmetic flaws in the pictures. If there is something you are unsure of please ask any questions and request more photos before bidding. I will happily provide any more information that I can.

I am sad to let this beauty go, but I have no choice as I have other expenses to consider.
THE DOWNTUBE SHIFTER CABLE STOPS ARE NOT INCLUDED!

Get a great deal on a piece of cycling history!
I will pack professionally and ship promptly upon receipt of payment. Please check my feedback and bid with confidence! Also check out some of my other auctions for more great cycling gear and kit.

Again please ask any and all questions before bidding, Buyer is responsible as there are no returns on this item.
UPDATE:
Can you please confirm that the mark/line seen in photo #11 of the bottom bracket is not a crack?
To the best of my knowledge this is just a cosmetic surface crack in the paint. It was never mentioned during the buildup at the LBS. The BB seems to have taken some good knocks in its previous ownership. All of the chips and markings were there before I purchased the frameset, I didn't add anything else. It performed great for me when I had it set up.

. Shipped with FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery to ensure safe and timely delivery. If you prefer another shipping method please contact me and we will arrange something else.
Cheers!
