Eddy Merckx 1995 Strada OS

Resprayed by Argos in 1995 Team Telekom colours. Bits are mostly DA of various vintages but with Sora shifters, because it needs to be a 7 speed. Stem is a Nitto UI-12 that takes oversize bars. A bit industrial-looking but it really stiffens up the front for climbing.

It came with a carbon fork but I didn't trust it after 26 years, so I got a matching steel one. Argos brazed a longer NOS SLX steerer in, as I couldn't find an EM fork with a long enough steerer.

Really love that paint scheme. I have just purchased a Trade frame which is screaming out for a Telekom or 7-Eleven make over.
