New photo added: 1968 Eddy Merckx badged Faema team bike (he did get his face on everything!) from the Merckx museum in his Belgian factory.

Could be a really interesting build - finding the recently introduced '68 Nuovo Record groupset parts, the flat QR, 'no record' hubs, no logo brakes and the 151bcd chainsets!

If you wanted to swap out the head/seat tube decals (they should come off) the original Merckx/Faemino decals are available here: https://bicycledecals.net/collections/eddy-merckx/products/eddy-merckx-set-700
