Campag stickers on a Corima disc?

and on the four spoke, but what the hell, it looks much better than the ugly yellow decals.

Yes, the wheels are Corima for sure!.... I do have Campag Pista's and a Ghibli disc for it so I have a few options that I swap between.... I am thinking of getting the Corima disc painted, maybe like a captain America sheild to match the red/white/blue of the bike.....

Absolutely gorgeous! This color scheme is also one of my all-time favorites, it looks so right on a Merckx!
What seatpost are you running?

Hi Frenk, The post is a Merckx carbon made by Selcof. I had a Record post but at 250mm long there was not much left in the frame for support and I didn't want to go there!!!. I am finding it hard to get my hands on a 300mm or 350mm Record post so this will do for now! (Any idea's where I can get one, 27.8mm in diameter?)

Here it is with the Pistas, these are a great all round training/racing wheel. Super strong!

I love the curve on the seat stays

I have a new Merckx on the way for the road, something I think will be very special. I will post pics when the frame arrives and of the build. I hope to out do my current Merckx in these photos.....

I used to own a 20th anniversary Merckx Alu Team. But after looking at yours, it makes me feel like throwing away my CAAD8 for a Merckx!

Bad news.. I was involved in a crash on the track and destroyed both of my carbon wheels (another riders pedal through both.....) bugger

Anyone want a cheap set of carbon track wheels?

That sux!

But you still have an awesome frame! And that Merckx road bike is the BOMB!

I am looking at putting either a SRM power crank system or a powertap on my roadie. Obviously the SRM is dearer, slightly ugly (in a good looking kind of way) also heavier, but, it doesnt matter if I have the LW's or my training wheels in so the data is recorded all the time and from races. The PowerTap is lighter (Very important on a WW forum ), I can keep my Record cranks or go ahead with the upgrade to Claviculas or Stork Power Arms and is a reasonable saving dollar wise.
Does any one have any experiance/thoughts on these two units, anyone had any drama's?, My coach has SRM on his bikes so there is an advantage there but I am open to suggestions?
Thoughts on a postcard please!
