Eddy Merckx
SALE Framesets ~
UCI, the official governing body of international
cycling, selected Eddy Merckx as the
finest cyclist of the 20th century! 
When Eddy Merckx, considered by most to be the
greatest bicycle racer of all time, retired from racing he returned to his home
country of Belgium and set up shop making some of the finest
bicycle frames in the world. This is his way of giving back to the sport that
means
everything to him.

Carbon
3XM ~
Think all carbon frames are created equal? Then
read this:
The 3XM is a carbon wonder frame from Merckx. The 3XM
features a carbon monocoque carbon fiber main triangle bonded to a carbon fiber
rear triangle. Over 100 layers of various carbon combinations and KEVLAR are
used in each and every frame. The outer layer is a highly resistant carbon mesh
with Kevlar layers in critical stress areas to protect against the varied
external forces a frame is subjected to. The inner frame is reinforced with T700
aerospace carbon fiber plus high modulus carbon fiber precisely oriented to
stiffen the structure where needed. The entire frame is cured in an autoclave
with 6 atmospheres of pressure at 180 degrees centigrade. This compacts all the
layers and forces out any air that may be trapped between layers. Color is
black with silver.
The high modulus carbon fork is designed exclusively by Eddy then made to his
exacting standards by the carbon gurus at Easton Sports. It weighs a mere 550
grams yet it is still "Merckx strong and dependable". Also includes a
carbon fiber seatpost! Designed for 35mm front derailleur and Campagnolo 1 1/8"
internal headset. Was $2999.99!

metal matrix tubing drawn exclusively to Eddy's precise "Flare" specifications.
The Premium weighs a mere 2.1 pounds! Yet, it's tough-tested through the Tour de
France and the brutal cobblestones of Belgium. The special "curvilinear"
seatstays were CAD designed for enhanced rider comfort. The 550 gram high
modulus carbon fiber fork, designed by Merckx, is made by Easton Sports. Color

SC ~
"The only frame to get a
perfect 5 star rating by Bicycling Magazine!"
The Team SC features a main frame of incredibly light
Easton Scandium 7000 metal matrix tubing. Actual weight is 2.4 lbs! The centers of the
chain stays are carbon fiber for extra resilience plus more
spring during acceleration. This is the frameset
chosen by the top Domo team for 2001,
2002, 2003, and 2004. The paint
finish is the exact
team issue -
red.white.blue as pictured on
left. Includes Merckx designed 0.8 lb carbon
fiber fork. Requires 31.6 seatpost and Campagnolo internal
headest. Was
$2599.99
"It's perfect for long hours
in the saddle because it's very comfortable and as we say 'goes in a straight
line' - it's well built. It's a very Belgian bike because it's built for
riding on the cobbles. The fork rake is very generous and so that dampens the
bumps, but at the same time it's rigid and solid at the back. It's easy to
ride and is safe and reliable on the descents and in sprints. The tubes and
the carbon fiber fork are pretty meaty which I like." Cert Steegmans of the
Lotto-Domo pro team, February 2003
