Subject: [CR]RE: Merckx MX Leader


all these comments on the mx leader prompt me to ask - whats the geometry on these ones that are popping up?

one of my coworkers has one, i beleive, from years back (white with pink paint scheme similar to the motorola scheme), and SWEARS by it - and this is a bike hes used for messenger work for probably the last 8 years - hes been desperately on a hunt for another frameset with the identical geometry in whatever colors, and has bought several other lugged steel merckx frames, but the geometrys been different, and hes ended up reselling them... the one hes got is steep steep steep...

whether or not its an mx leader, im not sure, probably isnt cr timeline, but since this was brought up here, i figured id ask around...
