Same thing with C40s, Supers, etc..

Everyone wants one

Agree my concern is not whether the bike will sell as much as what 2 out of the 3 I should sell. And, I know that I will make that final determination but I am curious to here others perspectives.

For truly sound and accurate advice, we need to see pics of all of these beauties.

If it's "colnago" 59 measurement and you're selling, I'm interested.

Its Colnago measurements of 60 for the Master and EPS. As you know Colnago use Freuler so the larger bikes center to center are all 58 until you get to 65cm then that one is 60. The EPS is a little trickier because they run a little big which is why I put 59/60 traditional in a Colnago perspective.

Thank you for confirming.

I like all 3 of these and can understand why you're having a tough time deciding. Personally, I would sell the Merckx (due to the potential headset issues that these all eventually seem to have) and the Olympic since it would be easy to replace (there are a ton of Masters/Olympics/Technos/etc out there). I'd keep the EPS as it's a great riding bike and there just aren't a ton of them out there - especially in the PR99 scheme. To me, it is an uncommon animal and would be a bit more difficult to replace.

The OP has told me about some of that collection. NONE of those should be parted with!

I have an equivalent Eddy, and am not selling because they're undervalued. To me the Master is lovely and unashamedly retro option so it's a keeper and different to the other two, whilst the EPS would get the boot.
