I never thought about that, but it makes sense. One would have thought that once he found the optimum position he would have stuck with it. But with his back injury, the most comfortable position could have changed from day to day.
Kind of frightening to contemplate how many victories Eddy would have had without the back injury. Lance's 7 wins might have fallen well short of the record.

Not so sure. In one of the classic Merckx films, Eddy had a QR seat binder. I assume it would have been Campy. Eddy was a fanatic about having to have the seat height just right.

I remember being struck by Eddy's obsession with getting his saddle/bar/stem relationship just right in "A Sunday in Hell." Was it not the case that after his back injury he was always fiddling with these adjustments, to stay out of pain?
