I haven’t subscribed in a few years and this one looks fun to thumb through.

I think most of the Merckx classifieds today and before are multi year old threads that are getting bumped.

A fellow is doing a generous task of adding a postscript to those threads to include info he has regarding Merckx origins. I am a fan.

Doesn't even include discussion of the new Ag2R bikes. Don't even care some of them are rebadged Ridleys, those Merckxs are hawt.

I looked at the AG2R team website:

https://www.cyclisme.ag2rlamondiale....os-velos-2020/



The 525 Disc is butt-ugly.

The Stockeu69 Rim, on the other hand, I wouldn't mind that one in my garage (but not in those team colours).

They had the Corsa steel bike at Le Tour this year too:

Oh man, really? I'm on the opposite side for the 525....I'm not a disc-guy nor a swoopy top tube guy but I like that one. I'd slam that stem a bit more and ditch that gold chain. Love the brown/blue/white color scheme too.

Wonder how many forumites have an EM bike.

We need to do stats about it, and that could explain too why we see so many EM in the clasified and why some stuff is seat there for a long time aswell.

There aren't that many actually available in the classifieds, someone is just bumping up listings from years ago and pushing down stuff that is actually still for sale.

I still have a Strada OS. It's awesome but about 3cm too small. So I'm saving it for my son.

I sold the MXLeader to someone here. It took forever and a big price break to move it. At least a forumite got it and is putting it to good use. I don't think I've seen it built up though.

Is not EM season... suddenly we will start seeing a bunch of them for sale or trade. Every year is the same Some guys back up, some other stay there listed and for really good numbers and that always made me wonder how many forumites have EM bikes or frames moving around.

For example I had 2... sold the AL one and have a corsa. Looks like the MXL is not like the right fit for me because all ive seen is like 5mm to 1 cm too long front tube of way too small frames, never the right one.
