Merckx produced a 10th Anniversary frame in 1990 and a 20th Anniversary frame in 2000. It was my understanding that those frames commemorated 10 and 20 years respectively, of Merckx building his own frames. I believe that frames sold with the Merckx name before 1980 were built by others.

Would that be the frames from Eddy Merckx's own factory or the frames built under licensing by others?
