a friend is getting a merckx restored and wants to have his signature painted on the top-tube by the seat-cluster, like you see Ernesto's on Colnago.

need a good image of merckx's signature to turn into a mask for paint or decal, not sure which yet.
if anyone has or finds such an image, i'd appreciate it!

Oh I can just envision a beach cruiser with Freddie Merckx on the headtube and fat bottomed girls on the top tube! :banana:

I got mine at his son's inaugural Gran Fondo in Pentiction. Don't be shy about rolling up your bike if you see him signing autographs. He was very gracious about it.
