Eddy Merckx Frames and Bikes
In 1980, two years after Eddy Merckx retired from racing, he started his bicycle company. The greatest bicycle racer of all time is just as serious about building great racing bikes as he was about competing as a road racer. Merckx was famous for being a demanding rider, insisting upon perfection in all details of his equipment. The consensus is that he brought this same approach to his brand of bikes.
Though Merckx sold his company in 2014, our inventory of Merckx frames was built under Merckx's ownership and direction.
We have left the sold bikes up on this page because we find them interesting and lovely examples of the bike-builder's art.

Made with Deda Zero-Uno double-butted special proprietary Merckx tubing. The frameset is new, but it has been built up.
