Can any one give any info on this s.n for a older Merckx ?
A0163

http://www.cadre.org/Merckx/ - they can help.

You may have a Merckx Professional, but the Merckx factory wasn't exactly known for following a strict serial convention. Emailing Gita Sporting Goods may also help. That's how I learned my Merckx is a Reynolds 753 Gran Prix from the mid '80s.

along with emailing gita, try emailing the merckx plant directly:

I emailed them several times in the past years for info on my MXL (don't have it anymore) and they always got back to me.

PS - if you do email them tell them to start making the MXL and Corsa Extra in their Belgium plant again.

Maybe it could be useful to someone...
A0163 = 1986, no technical markings = no other information... The Grand Prix appeared in 1988, the designation A is obviously not Professional.
