Hmmm.... Merckx...Masi????? .....Nice problems to have!

You mean Fueler as in accessory engine, or Freuler, as in the Swiss cyclist after whom the extended seat tube geometry is named?

The Freuler frames are beautiful beyond words.

From Nelson at Gita..very knowledgeable anout things "Merckx"

"Merckx did do a few special order frames with extended head and seat tubes.
Usually they were very large frames (64+). We never had too many of them
through here. The "J" in the serial number would typically indicate about
2002-2003. I've attached a picture of an MXL we had until fairly recently
that has the extended head and seat tubes. I don't think Merckx ever
referred to this as "Freuler" geometry - I only recall Colnago using that
term."

He also sent me a pic of a MXL with extended seat and headtube..
