Eddy Merckx, 2008 ~

When Eddy Merckx, considered by most to be the greatest bicycle racer of all time, retired from racing he returned to his home country of Belgium and set up shop making some of the finest bicycle frames in the world. This is his way of giving back to the sport that meansUCITrophy.jpg (57074 bytes) everything to him.

UCI, the official governing body of international cycling, selected Eddy Merckx as the finest cyclist of the 20th century!

Carbon AXM ~  In stock now!

Carbon, Kevlar, and Titanium woven together!

"A carbon masterpiece from the human masterpiece, a staff favorite! The AXM is one of our most beloved dream bikes. We describe the AXM as fast but also quick, a more elusive and arguably more precious quality. Forget about flex; we've been unable to visibly move the bottom bracket even under our burliest testers. Rest assured, every bit of your energy that can be put into the drivetrain is going there!" Bicycling Magazine, April 2007.

Eddy's top end carbon frame. The Merckx AXM is a true monocoque frame - completely formed in 1 piece with no internal or external reinforcements with any material other than carbon. Complete monocoque construction eliminates the chance of creaking or squeaking resulting from varied materials shifting or rubbing against each other. Over 100 layers of various grades of carbon fiber, Kevlar, and titanium are hand wrapped to create this stunning frame. It is then cured in a vacuum autoclave at 6 atmospheres pressure to compact the layers and force out any air pockets that could weaken the frame. Special curved seatstays and top tube add extra comfort. Includes a Merckx designed High Modulus carbon fork developed in conjunction with Easton. Also includes a WC carbon fiber seatpost. Color is black with red. Cycles BiKyle adds a Campagnolo Record integrated headset at no extra charge!
