This was posted in a forum from a guy that just visited Merckx in Belgium: "I saw Mr. Merckx in the back office. He walked by me. I greeted him and he extended his arm and we shook hands. I asked him if there was a list to look at and possibly purchase framesets. He said to his knowledge there was and he would send a colleague out momentarily to assist me. Based on Eddy's response, I was pretty excited at this point to talk to his assistant. Shortly thereafter, Eddy's colleague came out from the factory back door. This was the same guy who took care of me with the TSX Corsa Extra and MXL Moltenis. I asked if I could see the steel list. He said the list was gone. Additionally, he said there were no more steel frames in any sizes and models whatsoever in the factory....."
