Eddy Merckx Professional Classic Road Bike 1982

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

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 with designing the frames and teaching other frame builders. And as it happened Ugo de Rosa - The Master designed 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 A6RE6546 - dates back to 1982 and is still in perfectly rideable condition.

The original paintwork covers a frame that has been made from Reynolds 531 tubing, a choice which was possible on special order.

Regarding the technical side, this classic bicycle is kept very simple. The high class tubing is completed by a Campagnolo Super Record groupset. Simply the best of everything...
To make climbing easier, a 28t freewheel has been installed - nat that it would have been overly necessary considering the low weight of just 9.1kg at which this machine weighs in.

Wether you are a vintage bikes enthusiast, an Eddy Merckx fan or simply love stunning bicycles, here is a chance to a legendary road bike model!
