Painted for the 2003 TEAM Flanders - T Interim - Eddy Merckx - Frameset was owned by a BelgianPro rider from 2002 or 2003 in that Pro Team
This is another jewel we have for sale. A titanium Frame Eddy Merckx! The fork is a full carbon EC90 Aero and Chris King Headset. The Campagnolo Super Record 11 speed and Fulcrum Zero Wheels were added later on and are in pristine conditions.
Frame was ridden by a Pro Rider and has the regular cosmetic scratches on paintjob. Components are newer.
WHO RODE THIS BIKE?
This is still an ongoing investigation and we emailed some key people in Belgium (I'm an ex Pro rider from Belgium as well). Behind the Seat Tube you can see the following sticker with the name: " FR. VANDEWAL"
After some research, the only pro rider to have something similar of a name was Jurgen VanDeWalle
We are not sure it was his bike but the top tube also have a Saint Christophe badge in French and Flemish, probably for good luck during the race season.
This bike is part of a 38 bicycle collection owned by the same rider. No question that each bike have been ridden very little.
This is a huge and beautiful collection -
