Edouard Louis Joseph, Baron Merckx (pronounced [ˈmɛrks]) (born 17 June 1945), better known as Eddy Merckx, is a Belgian former professional road bicycle racer, considered to be the greatest pro-cyclist ever.
The French magazine Vélo described Merckx as "the most accomplished rider that cycling has ever known,"[2] while VeloNews of the United States declared him to be the greatest and most successful cyclist of all time.
Merckx, who turned professional in 1965, won the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia five times each, and the Vuelta a España once. He also won all of professional cycling's classic "monument" races at least twice each (with 19 Classics victories in all). Merckx was World Champion once as an amateur and three times as a professional, and he broke the world hour record before retiring in 1978.
Since then, Merckx has remained active in professional cycling through various commercial and sporting projects, most notably by manufacturing and selling his own line of bicycles, Eddy Merckx Cycles.

We love our DeBernardi. It's a chip off the old block.
Actually, I can honestly say I haven't seen one of these blue ones chipped. Perhaps because they're so spanking new at this point...
Vittoria tires will be swapped out with some Open Corsas in white.

I helped friend Dave pick up a (new to him) track bike. A beautiful Benotto track bike with the heart cut out in the BB.

Another red pretty piece...this one over at Super Makuri. The Suntour Superbe cranks and hubs alone are a nice gander.
Reminiscent of Yohei's first ride.
I'm totally an enabler.

In the end, much could be saved by applying liberal amounts of gloss. But still, the paint is uneven. The seat tube looks like urine in the middle as the gray primer glows through it giving the yellow a nice greenish touch.
The head tube is ok. And the lugs. But let's never talk again about the read fork. I guess more paint is needed...
