Merckx EMX-3 Full Ultegra

[norcalbiker]

Anyone here own this bike? I am thinking of buying one for my son. He is ready to move up from his old bike. Looks like it's a good price with free shipping. Any input or comment?

Don't own one but was tempted to buy one when it showed up on Chainlove last week at 60% off (instead of the 50% on the link)

If you decide to buy it, ask if they would be able to sell it for the Chainlove
price. Doesnt cost or hurt to ask :) Good luck!

$1900 for an 6700 carbon bike? What's not to like? Free ship also?

Not the 'Merckx' of old but it looks like a great deal. $3800, not so much but 1/2 off, if it fits, can't go wrong, IMHO.

I'm going to give it a try.

That's what I was thinking. Carbon with full Ultegra and Fulcrum Racing 5 with some nice (but not top of the line) componentry for $1900, It's not a bad deal. But I am going to try what Enr1co suggested though. I figure if I am willing to pay for 50% off, then I got nothing to lose if they say no on 60% off. :D

He is pretending to be your son so that you will send him the bike…it is a joke. ;)

I would also consider a CAAD10. You may be able to get one with ultegra for around the same price. Amazing bike and very durable.

Rat! I would have split it wit ya!:) I would have thought it was pretty obvious.

Those Merckx seem to be for sale all over the world, here too.

Sorry Bob. I would have loved to have the front half of the bike, only if you didn't want it. I am sure we could have agreed on the spots on the TT and DT to make the cuts. Or Bottom/Top…beggars can not be choosers.

Sorry. I really thought that, that is what you meant. I just wanted to make sure. :crap:
