I purchased this lovely Merckx of mr Omegastrada last week. I was very silly with my sizes and it is sadly too small.

Where is the frame, and you for that matter?

latman,
to accommodate the short fork steerer, the lower nut of the top race has been machined down so that the top nut can screw against it. It has been done well, but was the only disappointment i had on opening the box as i'd planned on fitting a campy unit.

Functionally it works and cosmetically it looks fine.
