Eddy Merckx Crescent

The frame is a Crescent-branded Eddy Merckx, from around mid-eighties. Crescent used Merckx frames onwards from 1986, this is probably from that year and I think it's made of Columbus SL tubing. Merckx supplied Crescent with different models - I've seen Reynolds 501 and 531 frames as well as Columbus frames. This was probably called 92320 in the Crescent model line. It has a full Campa 50th anniversary group with pantographed 3ttt bars and stem.

frame built before 1986 - manufacturer's markings would explain the problem :)
