Mark Bulgier has this German Merckx catalog on his site:

http://www.bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/EddyMerckx-90s-auf_Deutsch/

but it's not dated more closely than "1990s," and I'm trying to figure out the year it is. I think it's 1995, because I think that was the year the Arcobaleno was released, but I'm not sure.

Does any one know when the first Bora wheels were released or can identify the year of the group on pages 1-2?

By the way, the expert on Merckx bikes is Jeremy Rauch, who I think used to post here. His blog is http://www.tearsforgears.com/.

Thanks! So definitely 1994 - 1996, because I just realized that the Arcobaleno and Leader are in the 1996 Gan team colors in the catalog. Getting close!
