Most of the framesets of Merckx's biketeams of 1974-1978 were made at Kessels (Main d'Or), a frame building company in Belgium: - 1974: Molteni Team - orange+ blue - 1975: Molteni Team - orange + blue - 1976: Molteni Team - orange + blue - 1977: FIAT Team - silver + blue - 1978: C&A Team - silver + yellow

This year I purchased a Molteni Team road-bike from 1974/1975 and a C&A Team trackbike from 1978. The Molteni frame has a decal memorating this Super Prestige Pernod wins by Eddy of 1969-1970-1971-1972-1973-1974. Pictures at:
