It's remarkable the range of frame sizes Eddy appears to have used, judging by photos of his bikes. Of course he had a lot of frames made for him, and was continually messing with the geometry because of his bad back. The one in the pic with Alberto is odd, IMO, because it is attributed to 1969 - AFAIK, the Faema-decaled bikes were only used in '68, and by '69 had changed to "Eddy Merckx" decals? The one in the photo with Eddy looks very much on the small side for the Eddy bikes I've seen.
