Merckx Mondays

See larger here

David Lundqvist got ahold of a beautiful Stuttgart pista frameset and built it with all Campagnolo C-Record Pista. I am drooling right now. And no, that’s not my old frame. This one’s in much better condition. It’s been a while since a Merckx Mondays, but I thought this deserved one!

There’s one more gem below.

Thanks for sending this over Kevin! To see more of this Merckx pista, check out my photos from Fixed Fest here.

    Im wondering how people ride in the drops with their seat tilted up (first pic)… Dick-buster anonymous…

    • guest

      well for one they ride with the proper saddle height…

        Yeah and a Unicanitor is supposed to be ridden like that….

    • Guest

      That’s how they’re supposed to be ridden. All saddles should be level from the nose to the back. It’s been like that, since before any of us were on a bicycle. Check out these old Cinelli catalog scans for reference. 

      6 years of misinformed people on the internet somehow circumvent 50+ years of bicycle design.

    Thank you very much for writing the post and for the kind words, I’m proud to have my bike acknowledged by Prolly.
