This is one of the first Eddy Merckx bicycles ever built from 1980! Eddy Merckx started his own business in March 1980 and learned how to build frames from Ugo De Rosa who built the first series.
Since 5 is the only number panto-graphed under the bottom bracket (this is the size of the frame), we can assume that the frame and fork are from the first frame series ever built! Read more about the first Eddy Merckx bicycles in our blog.
The bicycle is completely equipped with Eddy Merckx panto-graphed Campagnolo Super Record group from 1980. So, if you are looking for one of the most rarest Eddy Merckx bicycles, then this is it!
