Eddy Merckx frame and fork
Reynolds 753
Blue pink yellow pearl white in colour
Lots of pantographing
Seat tube ctc55 ctt56.5
Top tube ctc56
Head tube 138mm
Only fault I can find is that the NDS dropout adjust bolt hole has been re drilled so basically there are two. I’ve ridden it hundreds of miles and didn’t even realise and all sits straight etc. Can be left as is or easy enough to braze-fill or replace. Does not detract from functionality.
Usual few scuffs and scratches as would be expected with age but much better than many others of this age.
A beautiful, rare and very light frame
Please ask with any questions and thanks.
£800…650…600

'Cos we love a good issue, don't we?

Haha here we go.

Good grief!

It is amazing that someone drilled such a small hole, in very little material, so close to the original. How was fixing the original not possible with a Helicoil, JB Weld, or Araldite as the original has clearly not been stuck in the frame.

Strange neither hole appears to be original is their a threaded hole in the left hand dropout.
