Frame: Eddie Merckx Majestic 3/2.5 titanium frame, silver with blue decals. EXCELLENT condition. A few subtle nicks under the down tube. This is a lightweight, lively classic European road frame geometry. Beautiful!
Fork: Kestrel EMS Pro Carbon fork with Campagnolo Record headset.
Here’s a comment cut and pasted from roadbikereview.com: “While I must admit that I am partial to titanium (or even Italian steel), I can say that my Merckx Majestic is the best bike that I’ve ever owned. I’ve ridden Litespeed, Colnago, Scapin, Giordana, and Novara. I thought that I had reached cycling nirvana when I bought my Litespeed Classic, but due to an idiotic driver, I had to replace it. Initially I was going to get another Litespeed, but the Merckx was about the same price and I was attracted to the Merckx reputation. I had some difficulties fitting myself on the bike initially (I tried to mimic my position on the Litespeed, but its a totally different geometry.), but once I got my position “dialed in”, I am reluctant to ride anything else. For what its worth, I feel that I am able to deliver more power through the pedal stroke (I’m not sure if this is imagined or real, as I don’t have a power meter.). The bike handles fantastically, and its plenty stiff. Overall, its a magnificent machine and you made a great choice.”
