Wow, thanks for posting that! I had heard that there was an Eddy M. license deal in Japan but that's the first time I have seen them.. Very cool. I am assuming from the equipment that those bikes are from the late 1970s -1980s?

I ran across these photos today: http://comics.sakura.ne.jp/cycle/miya05.htm

Were these Eddy Merckx bikes built under licence by Miyata? Does anyone know the story behind these bikes? I'd love to have an Eddy Merckx randonneur.
