2074.0. "Eddy Merckx Framesets - not cheap!" by PLAYER::GWYNNE () Wed Sep 11 1991 12:32

    I got my racing bike stolen lately (luckily I've still got my mountain
    bike to get me to work). I made some enquiries about a custom-made
    Eddy Merckx frames (I'm working in Brussels) and got quoted the following 
    prices. I thought they may be of general interest.
    
                                              USD

      That makes them a little cheaper over there then they are over here.
    
      I have not seen a Merckx SLX frame for under a $1000.  The Motorola
      team issue bike goes for about $1400.
    
      I might try and dig up a few more prices tonight if I remember.
