Eddy Merckx Professional 1980 Early De Rosa Bike Campagnolo Super Record Vintage
Eddy Merckx Professional 56cm. Very early model – Totally all original – Newly rebuilt. Rare opportunity to own a piece of cycling history: This Bike was one of the very first to be produced by the then brand new Merckx factory in Flanders in 1980. Built in state of the art facilities with columbus steel, and top of the line campagnolo components. It is highly likely that this frame was put together under the watchful eye of the legendary Ugo De Rosa. This particular frame was bought new in Switzerland and has resided there until now. See this brochure from 1980 for more information. Original pantographed full campagnolo super record groupset. No components have been replaced on this bike since it left the factory. Highly desirable features of the frame build include. “Eddy Merckx” BB Shell (Dropped in later run 1980). Signature seat stay caps (dropped by 1981). Eddy Merckx flat fork crowns (dropped by 1982). Eddy Merckx stamped dropouts. Campagnolo Super Record Brake Levers (Eddy Merckx Pantographed). Campagnolo Super Record Calipers. Campagnolo Super Record Shifters. Campagnolo Super Record Deraileurs (Pat’79 Stamped). Campagnolo Super Record Headset. Campagnolo Super Record Bottom Bracket. Campagnolo Super Record Cranks. Campagnolo Super Record Chainrings (Eddy Merckx Pantograph). Campagnolo Super Record pedals. Campagnolo Super Record Seatpost. Campagnola Super Record Hubs. Mavic GP4 Special HV Corsa Tubular Rims (Soldered Spokes). 3ttt Stem (Eddy Merckx Pantographed). Selle Italia RS Saddle. Campagnolo Record Gum Lever Hoods. White cloth bar tape (period correct – see catalogue). Vitorria Rally gumwall tubular tyres (not bonded to rims). Replacement cables and housing identical to original – smoked clear coating over steel wound inner. The paint and decals are completely original. However there are multiple areas of surface corrosion (now cleaned and stabilized), and multiple paint scuffs as the bike has been used clearly unsympathetically stored for some period of its 40 year life. There is a case to have it resprayed, but I will leave that decision to the next owner: It can only be original once! Alternatively you can also arrange your own courier if you have a preference. Please contact me with any further questions and I will do my best to get back to you same day!
