My Merckx

[Mike Muz]

Time to strip the front hub, loose axle and a redish required. Thankfully upon cleaning, discovered everything to be undamaged. So repacked with grease and straightened the wheel. Ready for rubber!

Waiting to be flamed, but a Shimano headset going back in.
I know it won't last, but scrubbed the tyres. I was thinking of getting blue, but had these and add a nice colour match I think. So, here it is so far

Looking good Mike! I've always had a thing for this colour scheme too.

what size front mech do you need?

Thanks mate, it's a braze on mech I need.
The colour scheme takes me straight back to being at Paris Roubaix in 2001. As the riders came past near the end, all you could make out of the riders were lips and eyes. Everything else was grey

If I'd looked properly at the photos I'd have seen it was a braze on mech can't help with that unfortunately.

Okay buddy, never mind

Nice one Mike.
I know you've fancied getting a Merckx for a while. It's a good itch to scratch!
