The Colnago pantographing on the stem, the 4 speed freewheel and the right hand front brake had all persuaded that it was unlikely to be Eddys bike

<<?Are those Berthets and Super 68s? >>

No and yes... But my impression was this is not necessarily a bike Eddire rode but a replica "in the spirit"?

Are those Berthets and Super 68s? Very, very unusual choices for a throwback replica bike, if that's what it is. Did EM ever race with that stuff on an eponymous bike?
