According to our own in-house Merckx expert (and former owner of this bike) :
"1985 was a transition year for Merckx - under the bottom bracket cable rou ting, some new lug bits that year + the prior, new graphics in the later part of the year (which apparently chuck schmidt designed -- but is reticent to discuss. odd.) This frame is probab ly from the last batch not labeled as a Corsa -- its got the P on the botto m bracket of a Professional. Old-style, Cinelli brake bridge instead of t he later Merckx labeled bridge which intro'd in 1986. Sloping fork, which was first intro'd in either '84 or '85. Its got a Cinelli "windowed" botto m bracket, Campy drops, top tube brake routing..."
I had her set up with "off topic" stuff and she was (still) a real looker!:

Overall good condition. Usual paint nicks and scuffs from being almost 25 years old. No dents or rust.
As mentioned, I am hoping to get rid of this frame at (or before!) T-Town on Saturday. If it doesn't sell there, it will be listed on Ebay.
Asking price is $500 OBO including shipping in the lower 48.
Thanks for looking,
Matthew Bowne
