Rare find indeed . All original 1973 Eddy Merckx Falcon  racer in Merckx Molteni Orange, This bike was designed Ernie Clements in 1973 under licence from Merckx. There were not so many produced as pretty soon after Merckx set up his own factory. The bike is complete and very original , Brand new tyres ,  Schwalbe ,  new quality inner tubes , new retro brown bar tape , looks great , front and rear bearings cleaned and re-greased. The bike goes well , gears all work , new brake blocks . This bike is nearly 40 years old and is NOT perfect. The decals are in good condition for age though not perfect,  it has some paint missing here and there and some blistering but overall it looks FANTASTIC , a real head turner. The frame is solid and strong being ' plain gauge Reynolds ' though no Reynolds decals but that is what Falcon used, with no dents or damage apart from the odd paint imperfection. Weinnman brakes, original Brookes 'type' saddle. Rims are in fair condition . It has original Bluemels mud guards which are also very good. The bell is a classic.  the bike is ready to ride . Will only ship to U.K. but local pick up good. Any Questions please ask. What you see is what you get , I have described as best I can , please study photos carefully.
