Eddy Merckx MXM Carbon Fibre (Campagnolo Record g/s)

I'm not certain how to describe this bike other than phenomenal. I have owned several Merckx bikes of varying pedigree and this is by far the finest of the breed.

The frame is forgiving on less than comfortable roads and yet stiff as a rake on the climbs. I have not had the chance to take the bike to france but I suspect a trip up the alps on this bike would be the pinnacle of any cycling experience (I've been up on a Merckx Team SC and that was incredible!).

The frame colour is inspired by the Molteni frame colours and is a custom colour (there is no other frame like it).

The specs for the bike:

* Carbon Fibre monocoque frame designed and built by Eddy Merkx * 53cm sloping frame (suitable for cyclist with a height of 5'8" to 6'3") * Campagnolo Record Groupset * Time Impact pedals * Campagnolo Neutron wheels * Sella Italia Gel Flow Flite saddle

Included in the sale of the bike is:

* Eddy Merckx winter cycling jersey (size medium) * spare 700c tyre * REI saddle bag containing toolkit, spare tube and tyre levers * SIDI cycling shoes (size 43) * Campagnolo chain grease (in spray can) * 2 Campagnolo 700c wheelbags * 2 Eddy Merckx water bottles

Not included in the sale is:

* The bengal kitten in the photograph.

Sadly I'm having to sell the bike as I've moved to London and not anywhere near roads which would do this bike justice. The bike has been ridden just over 300 dry miles and is in perfect condition.
