Hi Angel,

I mentioned to the CR list back in 2005 a picture of Eddy on a Faema bike that is in the book "Merckx: Mens & Mythe" (ISBN 9020952315) by Rik Vanwalleghem and Philippe Brunel.  I said in my post that the picture is from early '68, taken while Eddy is on a training ride.  By late '68 Eddy was riding frames labeled as "Eddy Merckx".  The book mentioned above is great and full of pics for the Merckx enthusiast.

I took photos of the photo in the Giro centenario book and posted them in my blog; you can click to enlarge them. Also is a color photo that Kevin Sayles of this list sent me. http://italiancyclingjournal.blogspot.com/2009/06/eddy-merckx-not-riding-eddy-merckx.html
