This link should show an interesting image of Eddy and the late cyclist Jose Manuel Fuente ("Tarangu)"-like many Spanish cyclists (he was a native of Navarra) a great climber, despite suffering from renal disease. He succumbed to its ravages at age 50. I'm not sure where this photo was taken-probably during a stage of the Vuelta?
Although Merckx and his bike rightly command the viewer's attention, don't be distracted from Fuente's beautiful cycle.
