Leave us not forget the really spiffy bike Colnago made and labeled with Merckx's name and likeness. The graphics are about identical to those of the Kessel bikes, as well as to the bikes Merckx eventually made under his ownership. I have brochure featuring the Colnago Merckx, in Molteni orange, with a nicely drilled large chainring, and milled out stem and seat-post...the bike probably dates from 1972 or 73. Very cool, and rather rare to judge from the fact that I've never seen one in the flesh. Maybe few were sold here on the left coast.
