How often do you think a sweet ride like that will come by? It's not like you'd be throwing away your money. You're bound to get your money back out of the bike if you need to sell it later. Heck, you might even make money. curlybike 09-15-2005, 03:20 AM Have you seen this? http://cgi.ebay.com/Eddy-Merckx-7-Eleven-Team-Racer-Campy-56cm_W0QQitemZ7183170785QQcategoryZ98084QQssPageNa meZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Must. . . fight. . . temptation to buy. . .

Have him feel for a lump or crease on the downtube up by the headtube. It may have been in a collision. ckilner 09-16-2005, 01:10 PM Andy Hampsten's bike company is selling an updated frameset in 7-11 colors that weighs about half what the Merckx MXL framesets did: http://www.hampsten.com/Bikes/ClassicRoad/giro88.html |
