Merckx Mondays

Merckx_02

Even though I have two awesome road bikes, part of me still misses riding my MX-Leader. Sure, they aren’t the lightest of bikes but they ride like none other. Even after parting with mine, I based both of my custom road bikes on its geometry. But this one’s got a history behind it. I rode this bike while I was in Australia last year and loved it. So when I saw Andy was parting with it, I got all pensive and contemplated buying it for a second.

This is one beautiful example of a non-team issue paint job on a stunning MX-Leader and FYXO is selling it now. If you ride a 58cm and have been looking for one, look no further. Check out his eBay auction here.

      Condition: Used

      “The overall condition is very good with a few chips and scratches I’ve illustrated in the photos, or what Italian ebayers describe as NOS / Mint.”
      He’s not saying it is NOS / Mint, he’s saying Italian eBayers sell bikes in this condition as NOS (when it’s not).
