#3: Falcon, made in Merry Ol' England. Errr... was the question who made bikes branded "Eddy Merckx" or who made the bikes that Eddy Merckx raced on?
Who made the bikes that Eddy Merckx raced on (the ones I think I know): -bike he race on as a kid, and his first pro team Solo-Superior (builder, I don't know) -Peugeot (builder, don't know. This would be the PY10 he raced on before the Masi-painted-as-Peugeot he raced on) -Masi (builder, Faliero Masi? [anyone know when he retired?]) -Colnago (builder, I don't know) -De Rosa (builder, Ugo De Rosa)
Who made the bikes branded "Eddy Merckx" (the ones I think I know): -Falcon (England) -Kessels (Belgium) -Eddy Merckx (Belgium)
Let's hear from the rest of you...
