1983 Eddy Merckx Professional Aero with complete 50th Anniversary Group (#2063) and custom ICS (Campagnolo Super Record) shifters

Frame size: 51 cm (c-c)
Top tube: 52,5 cm (c-c)
Head tube: 10 cm
Stem size: 11 cm (c-c)
Tubing: Columbus SL steel

This is a custom order Eddy Merckx Professional Aero with a complete 50th Anniversary Group, except the down-tube shifters which were originally replaced with ICS shifters because these are more ergonomic. A pair of original 50th Anniversary shifters is included in the sale.

The bike has been family-owned (one owner) since new and seen little use!

Following parts are guaranteed NOS:
- NOS Mavic S.S.C. Rims (the tubular tires have NOT been glued yet)
- NOS 50th Anniversary Hubs + NOS 50th Anniversary quick release skewers
- NOS 50th Anniversary toe clips (Size M)
- NOS Regina Oro Freewheel, 6 Speed
- NOS Sachs Oro Chain

The bike was ridden using a pair of Mavic GP4 Rims with Campagnolo Hubs and Christophe toe clips, which is why the parts listed above are all new (NOS) and have just been mounted recently for the sale.

Custom order aero frame, featuring all-internal cable routing for the brakes and gears and custom metallic paint that fades into the chrome of the rear stays. Underneath the paintwork the frame is fully chromed. The paintwork ist 100% original with not one single touch-up or restoration having been undertaken anywhere on the bike. There are absolutely no dents, rust, pickles in the chrome, etc. of any kind on the frame. The clear coat on the chain stains is peeling very lightly. All the tiny nicks of time have been protocolled extensively in the over 100 HD pictures.

All parts are guaranteed original and have not been replaced / modified. These include:
- original pair of hoods
- original bar tape and bar ends
- original Alfredo Binda toe straps
- original Selle San Marco Rolls saddle (date code: 1983)
- original 3TTT stem and Competizione handlebars
- original T.A. bottle cage
- original ergonomic, chrome-plated ICS modified Campagnolo Super Record Shifters with leather inlays
- original Campagnolo Super Record bottom bracket with Titanium axle
- original decals

The bicycle is fully serviced and ready to use as-is. The drivetrain received fresh lube and the gears and brakes were adjusted accordingly.

The frame and group set show very very little blemishes and wear. Please review the additional high quality pictures that we have made in order to get a better overview of the superb condition of the bike. These pictures can describe the condition better than words and can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/34H0y

Don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

The bicycle is currently located in Zurich, Switzerland, and can be collected on-site or shipped worldwide!

Thank you for your time and interest.
