I like the Merckx MXM a lot. Great bike, really stiff and responds perfect in races. The bike is shorter than my Trek OCLVs and corners excellent. Just one perfect race horse! 8) :thumbup:

(with old Alanera on this picture, the one I've broken)

Yes I have Shimano SPD-SL on all my bikes (and shoes). The Trek(s) on the background are training bikes.
Thus I have a brand new (never used) pair of Campagnolo Record Pro-Fit pedals for sale here; they came with the bike.

A description in the "What do you ride?"-topic. :wink:

casran,

Nice bike! Did you look into the axm? Wondering if you compared the two on test rides and what made you choose the mxm. Thanks

Actually I asked for an AXM, but that couldn't be deliverd yet in December 2004, a pitty. Merckx said there isn't a great difference between MXM and AXM... :noidea:

I think the MXM looks nicer. The 3XM also looks quite nice, although I wasn't so impressed with the finish on it.
