Eddy Merckx Professional Classic Road Bicycle 1980s

The Eddy Merckx Professional was the top model of the early Eddy Merckx brand. It was 'the bike that lives up to its name' as the prospects of Eddy Merckx stated.

After retiring from competitions, the great Champion Eddy Merckx started setting up a bicycle manufacture. Since he wanted to build the best road bikes possible, he managed to engage one of the best frame builders of all time to help him in designing the frames and teaching other frame builders. And as it happened Ugo de Rosa - The Master welded the first frames of the Eddy Merckx Professional and helped Eddy in the first business years.

Eddy Merckx Professionals from the 1980s appeal to collectors from all around the globe due to their perfection and their pedigree. This one - serial number Z 1291 - dates back to approximately 1985 and is still in a nice condition overall.

The original paintwork and decals are shiny and all stays are chromed, which had to be ordered as an extra back then.

Regarding the technical side, this classic bicycle is kept very simple. A Columbus SL tubing and a complete Campagnolo Super Record groupset in great condition! Simply the best of everything...

These bikes have gotten a bit rarer recently since many are already in the posession of collectors.
