Need help identifying my eddy merckx.

[jjbird1963]

Hello ! I’m hoping to figure out what I have here . I bought at a garage sale for $40 and was told it’s a “special” model by the seller but I know nothing about these bikes. The serial number is Z2924. All components that were left on it are Campagnolo . Any help identifying would be appreciated . Thank you

Those are Flandria Team colours, looks like an early Merckx Corsa. He painted this up as a homage to his first pro team.

There's an eddy Merckx registry somewhere, I'll try and find it

Same colours as this one.

Are they wood rims?

Thank you so much ! I was considering just passing it to someone that would restore it to original but I think I’m going to keep it and bring it back to life !

Yes . I picked those up before I found the frame and just mounted them to have a roller .

Found at a local landfill .

The only thing I've ever found at a land fill was a box of old brake levers... None of which could be rescued into operation!

You don’t live near aspen Colorado lol ! They clean out storage and garages and take it all to the local dump . It’s a gold mine .
