All this great discussion about Eddy's brakes had me looking closely at the photo from Eurobike, and I noticed the water bottle cage on the down tube has brazed-on mounts. Unusual for a frame with otherwise only a chainstay cable stop?

Some more poking around on Flickr turned up a nice little orange 2010 Merckx model: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jjatssdotnl/3888063830/sizes/l/in/ set-72157622242808720/
