Doug,

I think this qestion qualifies under "keeper of the flame" clause.

Gita catalogs from 1994 and 1995 list Eddy Merckx "CORSA" frames in columbus SL with the Faema paint (white with red headtube, and seat tube band) These have Eddy decals on the headtube.

In 1995 there is a De Rosa "heritage 65" in white with red decals.

In 1996 and 1997 there is a Merckx "STRADA" frame, in Brain OS in Faema paint. But it's more modern with internal brake route, and a fully sloping fork crown. (and it's oversize tubes).

The CORSA is a nice frame, in my opinion. Nice classic details.

wroteith Doug Chandler, AZ I am looking for some pictures of the Faema replica bikes that were available 10 years or so ago. I think they were De Rosa, but they could have been Merckx. A Molteni version was also available. Barring that, I would love links to some Faema painted bikes. Does anybody know if Eddie had his face on them like he did on the Molteni bikes?
