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.
UCI, the official governing body of international
cycling, selected Eddy Merckx as the
finest cyclist of the 20th century!

Carbon
AXM ~
Carbon, Kevlar, and Titanium woven together!
"A carbon masterpiece from the human masterpiece,
a staff favorite! The AXM is one of our most beloved dream bikes. We describe
the AXM as fast but also quick, a more elusive and arguably more precious
quality. Forget about flex; we've been unable to visibly move the bottom bracket
even under our burliest testers. Rest assured, every bit of your energy that can
be put into the drivetrain is going there!" Bicycling Magazine, April 2007.
Eddy's top end carbon frame. The Merckx AXM
is a true monocoque frame - completely formed in 1 piece with no internal or
external reinforcements with any material other than carbon. Complete monocoque
construction eliminates the chance of creaking or squeaking resulting from
varied materials shifting or rubbing against each other. Over 100 layers of
various grades of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and titanium are hand wrapped to create
this stunning frame. It is then cured in a vacuum autoclave at 6 atmospheres
pressure to compact the layers and force out any air pockets that could weaken
the frame. Special curved seatstays and top tube add extra comfort. Includes a
Merckx designed High Modulus carbon fork developed in conjunction with Easton.
Also includes a WC carbon fiber seatpost. Color is black with red. Cycles BiKyle adds a Campagnolo
Record integrated headset at no extra charge!

plus K210 Aramid fibers for extra dampening. Then, a top layer of T300 Tenax is
added for an exquisitely smooth finish. The entire frame is made in 1-piece to
eliminate creaking or movement over time. Includes a Merckx designed carbon fork
made by Easton and a carbon seatpost. Colors are blue.white and
black.white.red. Cycles BiKyle adds a Campagnolo
Record integrated headset at no extra charge!

Carbon LXM ~
A stunning new Merckx carbon frame for 2008. Like the CHM (below), the LXM is
constructed of multiple carbon layers throughout to optimize stiffness and
comfort. No additional materials are used, inside or out, so the frame stays
tight and solid throughout its life. The LXM takes performance up another notch
with advanced multi-dimensional shaping of the tubing for increased stiffness
and durability with only a minor step-down in comfort from the CHM. Frame weight
is a mere 2 pounds! Color is black with red front - a truly beautiful frame.
Includes frame, carbon fork, and seatpost.
