Merckx Colorways Are Back!

It’s no secret I’m a huge Eddy Merckx fan. It all started for me in the 80s at age 16 when I sold Merckx bikes at Palo Alto Bicycles. I loved that Eddy sponsored the 7-Eleven team and later the Motorola team. Today I have six Merckx bikes. Of course I love the early Molteni and Faema colorways, but my true love is the early 90s stuff, in particular the Motorola, Weinnman and Kelme schemes. You can see all three here in my office (I just put the Weinmann on my new Zwift trainer).



In recent years I’ve seen a few homages to Merckx colorways. The first I noticed was the Black Mountain Molteni road frame in 2017. (Pictured below, was for sale briefly on our site.)



Then a year later All City came out with their Mr. Pink based on the early Kelme bikes.



And then this month I noticed two more!

State Bicycle Co just came out with this limited edition collab with HAM Cycles, which looks absolutely incredible, down to the white Turbo saddle.



Then Breadwinner knocked it out of the park with their 10th Anniversary bike.



Who did I miss? And what is your favorite Merckx colorway?
