Eddy Merckx Century TSX Road Bike Dura Ace Vintage Bicycle 58cm 1990




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:6811937Brand: Eddy Merckx
Type: Road Bike
Original Description:
Eddy Merckx Century TSX. 58cm.  Possibly an '89 10th Anniversary TSX. Hard to decipher the serial number (see pics for a serial # stamped on bottom of BB shell). 
Here's a quote from: http://www.cadre.org/Merckx/
Some bikes seem to slightly predate or post date the range. These may be bikes manufactured to the new specs in the year prior to the model year -- Gitabike indicates, for example, the Grand Prix's in the list to be 89 model year, while a 10th anniversary ...TSX frame also carries the B. Might be a late 89 build?
I purchased this bike in 2002 and have ridden it since. I'm selling it now because I haven't been riding it lately. My mountain bike has been seeing more use and I would love for this bike to be in the hands of someone who would give it more attention. The previous owner had commissioned a repaint in the scheme pictured. It is likely a 90/91 model frame (or 10th Anniversary TSX -- see above). Information about the Century TSX frame can be found here:

The good: 
Amazing frame for all-day riding. Comfortable and responsive. Full Dura Ace minus headsetEasily clears 28cc tires. Chrome in excellent condition. No rust -- bike has resided in the dry Rockies. Drivetrain (chain/cassette/chainrings) replaced last fall (NOS). No crashes, just use. 

The imperfections: 
Beausage (thanks Grant Petersen) -- the bike has eye-catching beauty, but is no garage queen. Right Brifter lever is shorter due to a super-low speed, yet very embarassing fall on ice. Completely functional, howevere. I have ridden it as such for the past 6 years. Again, beausage. Aesthetic imperfections in the paint. Any that exposed the frame were covered in clearcoat to prevent corrosion. 
Others items of note: Cane Creek S6 headsetReynolds Ouzo Pro full carbon forkMavic Open Pro rimsITM Millenium 100mm stemITM Millenium 42mm barsFizik WrapFabric Ti SaddleContinental Grand Prix 4-Season 28cc tires in excellent condition
Bell and pedals not included. 
PLEASE NOTE: I am out of town and won't be able to ship the bike until approximately AUGUST 19.
