Talking about EDDY MERCKX!

Well today we were able to put a name on a bunch of older unpainted Reynolds 531 steel framesets.............that we have hanging up in the warehouse..........They are Kessels made MERCKX framesets, looks to be around '76? We purchased an older MERCKX today and it has stickers that are the same style of that of the Molteni with the blue background, but this is with a yellow back ground! A first for myself. This bike was a one owner bike,.....WAS! Because I'm # 2!.........OK!.....This frameset looks very near or spot on as like a load of framesets that we are sitting on! The seller said they are EDDY MERCKX made by kessels!..........I said, yeh right! Totally feeling like he's giving me the hard line sale!.........Anyway the price was very good for a 531 frameset, so I said what the the hell I can't go wrong for the $$$!..........OK!............They have been sitting for a very long time! Guess what, they are the same as the MERCKX that we got in today!.................Right on!Tthe seller was right!.............They match 100%!!!!!!!!! Only problem is, the sizes............51cm and 52s..........Anyway we're going to check with EDDY if we can have them done up!........Molteni, who knows??
