FS: Merckx Team SC Custom + extras!
I have for sale a lightly used 61 x 61 c-c Eddy Merckx Team SC Scandium
frameset, including integrated Campy Record Headset and a Merckx fully carbon fork (including carbon steerer tube. This frameset also has integrated carbon fiber chainstays. Included with the frameset is a new Campagnolo Chorus carbon seatpost ($109.00 value). A Campagnolo Record Carbon front derailleur (value $79.00) and last but not least: a Stella Azzura Vice Versa 130 mm stem (a $119.00 value). I built this up with Campy Record 10 and Campy Eurus wheels. It came in at under 18 pounds complete with pedals. Not bad for such a large bike! Mechanically it is a 9.9. Cosmetically it is about a 9. It would be a 10 cosmetically. But there are a couple of chips in the paint that came about while transporting the bike on a car bike rack. The paint chips are easily touched up as they are in the black part of the frame. This frameset was custom built, with custom geometry and custom painted at the Merckx facility in Belgium. It is unique and one of a kind. This frameset retails for $2,500.00 new, not including the custom geometry and custom paint scheme. You will be getting this slightly used (under 500 miles) frameset for a fraction of retail! This frame has never been raced or crashed. And, don’t forget about the seat post, stem and front derailleur! This is one fast, smooth and comfortable ride! The geometry is (c-c): Seat Tube:61 Top Tube: 61 Head Tube: 23 Stand over: 87 Wheelbase:102 This bike will fit anyone over 6 feet tall. There are no weight limitations This is what Merckx has to say about their frameset: Throughout his illustrious racing career, Eddy Merckx was meticulous in the detail of his bicycles, taking the utmost pride in the fit and finish of all his equipment. As a manufacturer, he retains these qualities and incorporates them with his unparalleled racing experiences. The Team SC immediately became the signature frameset for Eddy Merckx upon its introduction in 2001. It features a main frame of breathtakingly light Easton SC7000 Scandium metal matrix tubing with carbon fiber chainstays for superb shock absorption. It weighs in at less than 2.5 pounds. Scandium is well known for being the most forgiving aluminum alloy ever manufactured. Merckx makes it even more durable by oversizing the tubes to impressive diameters. This combination of a shock-absorbing alloy with hefty tubing diameters makes the SC amazing to ride. The Team SC was our single best-selling aluminum frame both in 2002 and in 2003. Why? Rather than waxing poetic myself, let me quote the former World Champion, Hour Record holder, and wearer of the Maillot Jaune Chris Boardman. In his capacity as test pilot for Pro Cycling magazine, he reviewed the Team SC in their September 2003 issue and wrote... "....its overall robustness leads me to suspect it will last longer than its rider. It could probably survive a nuclear blast, or the non-fission equivalent, Paris-Roubaix..... The handling was as good as any bike I have ridden, perfectly neutral, and even sitting up to put a cape over the top of the climb at low speeds was no problem. On the descent the handling continued to be near-perfect, bringing back memories of my first pro bike with GAN, another Merckx, which also handled like this one. I was perfectly in control on the most taxing Alpine descent and would have been happy to ride this bike across the roughest of cobbled roads (which I suspect was its intended target terrain). The substantial design also gave a solid feel with little in the way of flex evident. The bike didn't feel as if it would bounce over rough ground, rather it would plough through it!" I am asking $1199.00 including professional packing, insurance and shipping to the lower 48. Please see my feedback on ebay under Socalstev1 Please contact me at Many high resolution pictures available, just ask. |
