I'm not a cognoscenti, but I'd agree with you Dale. The fat lugs, twin plate fork crown (pseudo?) and rear seat cluster is not what I've typically seen on Merckx bikes. I am a bit thin on my exposure to the early Merckx frames though.

That must either be a Kessels or not-a-Merckx-at-all. Very untypical details...

What do you cognoscenti think?
