As the guy at Gita put it, Merckx is easy ; they'll do anything they can within reason. I spec'd SLX (SL no longer available),126 rear, Italian BB, top of BB cable guides, etc. In other words, old style. I did not spec frame angle, top tube length, etc., but I think they would have accomodated me. The order took three months, and the frame came exactly as ordered, including touch up paint and an extra set of decals I requested. They would not do a painted to match pump. I've seen custom frames with Eddy's signature under the clear coat. I was also able to get Mavic OR 10 rims, which I understand Eddy rode, through Renaissance Cycles. I put on all NR/SR. << Josh,
How did you go about specifying exactly what you wanted? Does Merckx have a custom "program" of some sort?
