The orange Merckx/Molteni bike in the stand-alone pic actually looks pretty beat for a replica. Also, the name cards affixed to the bikes do not appear to be exclusively "big names." And why would you bother to build a replica of Eric Vanderaerden's cross bike? Some of those bikes are awefully pristine, though. Maybe the?owner simply hasn't had a chance to participate in one of our contentious "when to restore" threads.
