Eddy Merckx serial number identification I would like to identify my Eddy Merckx bike but throughout forums and online discussion, I couldn't find any clue as the serial number does not match anything found.
Serial number is apparently A0 - 930 see pictures attached
I'm pretty sure that the frame is a Corsa Extra, in Domex-Weinmann Team's colors.
If anyone would help me I would be happy to know more about it's history. I can give additional informations about the bikeenter image description here if needed.
Thanks in advance !
Looking at the frame, I initially doubted whether this is a genuine bike - there were plenty of people making stickers and slapping them on average bikes. The paint job isn't particularly fancy, and the lugs on the frame are not scalloped like a high end bike. The fork is Columbus, but there is no Columbus sticker on the frame.
But, &quot;Eddie Mercx&quot; is etched into the bottom bracket, and this was too much effort for a knock off, especially in something that wasn't on show. So I think it is a genuine item.
As @carel suggests, the official web site should be source of truth, or there may be a historical group that helps to track the history of old bikes (often run by fans, as the factory is more interested in selling new bikes - they don't make money from fans who dwell in the past)
