Anyone toured the Eddy Merckx factory?

A whole bunch of the Eddy Merckx models were absolutely terrific back in the day. Truly classic and durable road bicycles.
Sorry to read that many of them are now outsourced to other manufacturers and not made under the same roof as before.

Other more knowledgeable folks than I can correct me, but I think this had a lot to do with influence of Ugo DeRosa over the years. Which has always left me perplexed as to why the DeRosas weren’t more of a listed after bike.

I sold all of my Merckx's and kept the De Rosa's.
