Up for offer is this very nice Eddy Merckx Professional SL. I spent many hours giving this bike a complete restoration. All components were disassembled, ultrasonically cleaned, polished, and meticulously reassembled. The paint is factory original, showing some patina but very beautiful condition. I've received some information that this bike may have been back to the factory for a few upgrades, (BB cable guides?), but really have no way of conforming that. The Corsa decal is a good hint since everything indicates this is a Professional SL. Wheels have been rebuilt with new DT spokes and nipples, rims are nearly new. This bike is 100% ready to go, freewheel and chain are nearly new, all bearings/cones/races are perfectly smooth. New tape, cables… Buy with confidence; I’ve been in the bicycle business for over 40 years. Everything on this bike has been done right.
My intention was to keep this bike for my personal use, but as usual I've found more projects and have too many bikes… again.
