Merckx Copy Single Speed Conversion

[Psyclist]

I have acquired this Eddy Merckx (copy) from a friend online and am going to make it single speed.

Plans are

• Bullhorns
• Crosstop levers
• New Wheels
• Freewheel single speed cog
• Seatpost
• Saddle
• Bar tape

It cost me nearly nothing so I can't complain.

At least you won't have trouble getting the seatpost out.

Thanks, I'm also stripping the paint and clear coating the frame.

Lol true.

Nice lugs

Ha, thanks, they look pretty smart. It's actually made by Falcon who Merckx gave permission to make a copy of their bike (so I was told)

Frame as it stands. I'm going to give it a coat or two of paint.
