Merckx had connections with De Rosa and that frame has a number of typical details and parts typically found on De Rosas from the 80's and maybe into the 90's. The bottom bracket(the milled pattern), seat cluster, and fork crown being some. I have no idea who built the frame. Too bad about the bad paint job!
